What a time for celebrations! Flags, Fathers and Freedom!
On June 14th, Americans celebrated the pride of America – The American Flag by displaying the Red, White and Blue in front of our homes and businesses. The day commemorates the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States.
Let’s honor the extraordinary fathers who provide support, sacrifice, and love every day for their families. We are thankful for these incredible men who truly make a house a home, filling our spaces with fond memories and laughter day in and day out.
In today’s world, it’s hard to imagine with the barrage of social media, always being connected to a device and an endless 24 hour “news” cycle that it could take over two years to first hear that you are “FREE” from the chains of bondage. Think about that for a moment – to be isolated or forgotten. Let’s put Juneteenth into perspective in that we need to remember that this day does not belong to one group of people. Rather this day belongs to ALL Americans. It’s a testament to the unity of both black and white people who went to great lengths to break the chains of bondage. Juneteenth is about the emancipation of an entire nation–of freeing those previously shackled and preventing former shacklers from treating fellow human beings like property. It’s a reminder of the biblical principle that we have been created from one blood and we are one beautiful, colorful human race. May Juneteenth remind us that hope is never in vain—even when things seem impossible.
