The timeless words of “America the Beautiful” resonate deeply within our souls, recalling many years of freedom, freedom fought for by courageous patriots who sacrificed for the cause. Their sacred service to our country calls us to honor their legacy by living true to their ideals.

In the tapestry of our nation, the field of blue symbolizes unity amidst our diversity. It is a unity that transcends divisions, strengthening us as we stand together. The stripes bear the hope forged through the struggles we have overcome, while the red reminds us of the courage displayed by those who fought for liberty. The purity of the white inspires us to uphold justice and equality.

Amidst the grandeur of America, we also recognize that our freedoms are magnified through Jesus Christ. He grants us true freedom that surpasses earthly boundaries. His teachings of love, forgiveness, and compassion empower us to build a society that reflects His divine grace.

Viewing America through the lens of Jesus Christ reveals a nation that cherishes the freedom to worship, express our beliefs, and serve others selflessly. His teachings guide us to love our neighbors as ourselves, fostering unity, understanding, and compassion.

On this day of sabbath rest, let us offer heartfelt gratitude for the blessings we enjoy as Americans. We honor the patriots who fought for our freedoms, vowing to live lives aligned with their noble cause.

In the colors of our flag, we invite Jesus Christ to be our guiding light. By following His example, we magnify the beauty of America through acts of love, justice, and mercy. Together, we can build a society that embodies the hope and ideals represented by our national symbols.

May the simple words of this poem, echoed by the beautiful notes Elisa shares of this arrangement of “America the Beautiful” by Larry Beebe, remind us of the price paid for our freedom, inspire us to live lives worthy of its legacy. With gratitude, unity, and the presence of Jesus Christ, we continue to make America a truly beautiful land, where freedom, justice, and love prevail.

A DAY OF FREEDOM
By Les Patterson

A day of freedom
Fought for independence
Patriots who bled for me
Who stood up for you
We honor their sacrifice
By living true to their cause
Mightier than the one
United in our diversity
A field of blue honoring
Hope forged in the stripes
The courage of the red
The purity of the white

Have a Beautiful Sunday!

We Love You!
