A New Symbol of Freedom for NPUMC

Now I know it isn't Veterans' Day, Independence Day or any other holiday that brings into our minds the great sacrifice and service many people have given in service to our country. But this morning after prayer breakfast, I was given a new symbol of our country, a U.S. flag. The one that flies over NPUMC all the time had tattered in the weather. Our friend and great patriot, Bill McCoy to the rescue! Bill brought us a new flag and I proudly hung it in its appropriate place in front of church. It is beautiful! It also reminded me of how often I take for granted the privileges I have just because I happen to have been born an American. Thanks be to God that we can fly this great symbol of our country. Thanks be to God that we are still free. Let's all take a moment each time we see an American Flag and realize how many lives paid for our freedom and the privilege we have of flying this symbol. Take a moment and thank our servicemen. Take a moment and thank our veterans. Take a moment and thank our God!
