The "Stuff" you've been waiting for!

George Washington, The Declaration of Independence, The Founding Fathers, Freedom, The Crossing of the Delaware, Henry Knox and Fort Ticonderoga, The American Flag, The Pledge of Allegiance, The National Anthem, Patrick Henry, Paul Revere, Abraham Clark, John Morton, Sacrifice, Courage, Conviction.
I could go on and on. These words hold a special place in my heart. They have great meaning in the history of our country. Are you familiar with all of them? No, probably not. Many of us were not privileged to be taught about these amazing men, events, and the miracles that attended them. If you were, I'm so glad, teach others. If you were not, take the time to learn about them. I have experienced an unexplainable love for my country and an unshakable testimony that the men who were called to found this country were some of the greatest men in the history of the earth. I know without doubt that God performed many miracles, through and for these men. His hand was in the founding of this country and it was only by his intervention that we are free today. I know also that our continued freedom is based on the continuity of Allegiance to God.I'm Proud to be an American! I don't understand all of the principles of the government that our founding fathers organized, but I want to continue to learn and support it. I don't want their sacrifices, and they did sacrifice, to be in vain. I hope to teach my children to love their country and understand the "stuff" their founding fathers were made of. I believe Heavenly Father made our children of that same "stuff"! We have heard many times that the constitution will hang by a thread. We will need leaders who are firm in their belief in God, courageous enough to stand up for their convictions, and dedicated enough to sacrifice all to achieve those convictions. A person who possesses all of these traits will be the means through which God will perform His miracles. We know this because we see it occur all through the pages of history. History repeats itself. I am very thankful to my Heavenly Father for giving me this testimony and for granting our family amazing opportunities to visit places that instill this "stuff" into our hearts. I hope you enjoy sharing our vacation with us.
