Independence Day~

"In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,

with a glory in His bosom the transfigures you and me,

as He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,

while God is marching on."

"Glory! glory, hallelujah! Glory! glory, hallelujah!

Glory! glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on."

~ The fourth stanza from the Battle Hymn of the Republic ~

````****````

I love this hymn for the words that penetrate my heart.

Every stanza grips my soul as I sing these words

that glorify God and His Truth.

Yes, His Truth is marching on, even when the days appear to be dark,

His Truth will always march on and so must we.

Glory, glory hallelujah, let us march on

sharing the Truth of God's Word.

My husband and I have worked at putting together this YouTube

using some of our photo's of the fireworks we have 

captured here in our small community.

This is the first YouTube we have made and we forgot to put my name on the photo's,

 after all the work that it took we were not going back to start over. HA!

The music is from

"Canadian Brass Anthems & Honors Music"

Please enjoy the photo show and music as you reflect on the glory of our God.

Heavenly Father, thank you for the freedoms that we have
because men & women went forth marching on for our country.
May we be bold and strong taking a stand on Your Truth,
and marching on for Your glory and Honor.
Amen.

To God be the Glory!

Happy Canada Day & Independence Day!

Happy Canada Day & Independence Day!

~*****~
Since my dear husbands nationality is Canadian,

and it is Canada Day on July 1st, so close to our Independence Day celebration,

I wanted to combine the two holidays

and wish all those out there a blessed holiday celebration.

~*~

My dear mother-in-law would always say,

"I don't know why these two countries will not become one".

She was so cute...

From the time she was a young girl, she traveled to the States,
 so she knows both sides.

She always felt that Canada and the United States 

were very much the same and that Canada should join the United States.
Her thoughts were wonderful, but in her life time that did not take place.
But we can sure celebrate with and for one another!.

God's Word tells us in Psalm 33:12a

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord".

~*~

That pretty well say's it all!

Let All the World in Every Corner Sing

Let all the world in every corner sing: My God and King!
The heavens are not too high, His praise may thither fly;
The earth is not too low, His praises there may grow.
Let all the world in every corner sing; My God and King!
~*****~
Let all the world in every corner sing: My God and King!
The church with psalms must shout, no door can keep them out:
But, more than all, the heart must bear the longest part.
Let all the world in every corner sing: My God and King! 
~*~
Where ever your corner of the world is,
make God your King, and your Lord,
singing praises and glory to His Holy name..
~*~
The chorus to "Battle Hymn of the Republic" is,
"Glory glory hallelujah! Glory glory hallelujah!
Glory glory hallelujah! His truth is marching on".
God's Truth is marching on day by day.
Regardless of what is taking place all around the world,
He is God, and He is King.
All nation's belong to Him.
He is in His holy temple, and His throne is in heaven. (Psalm11:4)
~*~
Are you marching on with God, singing glory glory hallelujah?
~*~

 Our precious Heavenly Father.
 Make us a people who's God is their Lord.
Create in us a heart and a passion to march on with the Truth of the Gospel,
singing glory glory hallelujah no matter what is going on all around us.
May we walk in faith trusting You, in each of our corners of the world.
Amen.
