Encouragement, Operation Imminent Trumpet
No Greater Love Than This
Shalom Fellow Vertical Warriors,
Yesterday while grocery shopping with four of our five children and about to enter the checkout line I curiously noticed a display of American flags for sale. Maybe it is just my perceptions, but I have observed this Memorial Day weekend here in suburbia Atlanta, GA., that very few homes are outside displaying the colors of “Old Glory”! So I told one of my kids to run back to that display aisle in the store and grab one of those American flag packages (and of course all four of my kids sprint as if in a indoor 100 meter completion to see who could get it first. LOL).
When we arrive home and unpackaged our new American flag, I suddenly began to feel led to have a flag raising ceremony right in our front yard. All four of our children line up and began to passionately quote the pledge of allegiance with several of our neighbors curiously looking on. I then began to exhort my children on the bravery and courage that so many of our fellow citizens are now displaying on the battlefields of Afghanistan, Iraq, and unknown others, in our fight against anti-Semitic and anti-American terrorists. While encouraging my children in our front yard with this spontaneous ceremony I could not help but to think of two acts of bravery I have come across recently that I would like to share with you’all today.
