This is the day America celebrates the United States flag becoming our flag....the flag birthday.
I LOVE flags. Flags/banners are symbols. They represent something. They depict, portray or present something clearly to the mind.
I have a flag hanging outside my home right now with a big "L" on it. The "L'" stands first for our last name: LINK. The "L" also stands for " LOVED.....LIVE a LIFE of LOVE..." taken from Ephesians 5: 1 & 2. Listen to the rest of this truth:
"Be imitators of God, therefore as dearly LOVED children, and LIVE a LIFE of LOVE, just as Christ LOVED us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."
As moms, it is our job, our responsibility to help our children know and understand who they are, to teach them about God and how much He loves them, and to encourage them to live life God's way...to live a life of love.
Perhaps today would be a good day to make some flags with your children letting them draw a symbol/picture of who they are and what represents them and march around the house waving their flags.
Maybe today would be a good day to create your own family flag or go buy a flag that is a good picture of who you want your family to be/represent in your neighborhood.
It could be that today is a good day to be reminded of Song of Solomon 2: 4
"He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner (flag) over me is LOVE."
This book is writings between lovers but has been taken allegorically as God's love with his people.
Or maybe you just want to throw a birthday party for our national flag and help grow your children's appreciation for our country.
Happy Flag Day. Part of being a mom is making your home a happy place to be for your kids. Go make your home happy and fun by doing something/anything to celebrate flag day. Go thank God that you are dearly loved and his flag over you is LOVE. HE LOVES YOU!!! As a dearly loved child of God, go love your children dearly through your words and actions. Blessings from Bombadil...home of the "L" flag. Kristy
"I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me." Phillipians 1:25 & 26
