An American flag had seen better days, It had become battered and worn by the weather for over almost two years. It was our own personal flag. Like our nation it faced a time of isolation for a long time. The elements took their toll on Old Glory and she became shredded and worn. It was time to retire this relic and start fresh.

We purchased a new flag this spring and it seemed quite fitting that the time coincided with our freedom from fear of a world wide pandemic. Today as we celebrate our nation’s founding, let’s never forget the symbolism of our American flag. We have been through a very short history as a nation and yet we have overcome battle after battle. We’ve endured tragedies suffered because of war. Wars of many kinds have invaded America’s shores and fields of grain. The majestic mountains remain. The climate may be changing, but God never does.

As we pray for our country, let’s keep our unity in tact. We are one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Our flag may have been replaced because of the physical damage done to it, but our God never changes. He will live forever.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
