Our Captain Moroni Standard for the Latter Days!

 

A billowing feeling of gratitude fills the very center of my soul, when I remember those who sacrificed their all to ensure my freedom to worship and live in a manner pleasing to God ~ without fear or censure.

I learned from a wise sister in the faith, that we need not make a special new flag or rent our coats to pronounce our stance of freedom and liberty, God has already done that.  Our American flag symbolizes all that Moroni agonized over as he rent his cloak and penned these faith inspiring words:

 “In Memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children.”

Captain Moroni and The Title of Liberty,
Book of Mormon ~ Alma 46:13

So post your flags and let your title of liberty be flown, over the housetops, off your porches, at your churches and in your heart!

I am very grateful that God has placed me here to live in this choice land. I feel a kinship to my ancestors of the Celtic regions who suffered many hardships to ensure that their children and descendants would be able to enjoy the freedoms that they themselves sought for.

The next time you sing hymns or songs of praise to those who have fought for us and as you pledge your allegiance to a constitutional cause, please remember those who fight for freedom for you, your children, their children and the future generations to come. It is they who carry this modern Title of Liberty today that we may enjoy our liberty tomorrow.

Remember, above all, to thank our God for the blessed privilege of living in such a temporally blessed land.  Especially, for the gift of freedom to live in the most spiritually blessed land in the world ~ a choice land, above all other lands~where Zion will soon be made manifest and His glorious promises will come to pass.  🙂

“…we have obtained a land of promise, a land which is choice above all other lands;…and if it so be that they shall serve Him according to the commandments which He hath given, it shall be a land of liberty unto them…”

2 Nephi 1:5-7

God Bless America!

My Country, ‘Tis of Thee ~ Hymn 339

Hymn # 339 My Country ‘Tis of Thee ~ Adapted for Organ – Free Sheet Music

It’s that time of the year again ~ I love patriotic music!

This lovely hymn, flag shaped like USA which brings me to tears every time I  sing it, connects me with my own family history.

I love my country, I love my God and I love my family.

Even in these trying times , this beautiful hymn swells  these feelings from deep in my soul and brings to  remembrance of what a blessed land I do live in.
I am grateful to have the freedom to worship my God and for the freedom this land allows for others to worship God in a manner fitting their beliefs.  I am thankful for my family, my children and the blessing they are in my life.

I am grateful to all those who have sacrificed for my benefit so that I am able to enjoy these freedoms, pursue my interests unfettered, and enjoy all the gifts my Heavenly Father bestows upon me.

Let us remember those who sacrificed then and those who still sacrifice today.  What a blessing it is to have the brave who still believe that America is a land worth their stand.  May freedom always be protected by God and those who love it.

Enjoy this hymn, and try not cry when you play it.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth  🙂
