flag-day-300x200Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

We are very busy here at the ministry, please pray for us as we go forward for our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for all your prayers and support.

Just received the sad news from Randy Thom that my cousin Darry Hanson 57 years old has passed away from brain cancer. Darry entered the gates of heaven at 1:30 this morning.  Darry and I were in the same High School class in Windom, Minnesota. We played together in our youth and had a great relationship. This is the second child that Darry’s folks have lost due to cancer, his sister Glenda passed away years ago. Please keep the family in your prayers.

I posted this a year ago………

I have been asked to put forth a Father’s Day prayer…….people looking for a Father’s Day prayer…….Let us be in prayer as you read this note……..my prayer letter to you all!

I just got done talking to a man who is a great Dad….but cannot see his son because of a divorce.
Here is my prayer as I write to you………Men are taking a lot of heat, to be Godly men……….but this morning what God has shown me is that there are Godly men all around us! I have called out many times for men to be men, I believe this morning that more men than I know of are striving to be men of God. What God has shown me over the last several years is that many men fear, more men in the history of the United States have grown up without Dad’s in the home, so they have not had a role model in the house. It is our duty to help these men grow into Godly Men. I believe the harvest time is now and many hearts are ready.

God has shown me this. It is time to show these men, the love of Jesus Christ. It is time to gain their trust so they can be vulnerable in our Lord. So many that appear happy to you on the surface are carrying much hurt around. The hurt is deep and one talk will not make the hurt go away……..it is a Godly process………it is a process that takes time and prayer and the movement of God………it is all about God.

I thank all of you for your love and the folks that are asking me for a Father’s Day prayer………

I thank all of you who have sent me Godly love notes on this Father’s Day……….I am thankful for all the Godly role models God has sent into my life. I stress to men that we need to seek other Godly men to learn from them. Men, we do not need to be bashful of our love of Jesus Christ.

Show that love to the world, and you will help other men fall in love with Jesus, because that is what Father’s Day is all about, God our Father!

Why Do We Spend Less On Father’s Day?

Edgewood Father’s Day Car Show

Saturday in June 14th, Flag Day, a very special day for me, My Dad, Wally Moede was born on that date in 1927. He always told us kid’s that the flag was flying because it was his birthday! LOL! Flag Day, what does it mean to you? Here is a flash back to a post I did a year ago……

Today is June 14th, Flag day in America.

What do people do?

Flag Day falls within National Flag Week, a time when Americans reflect on the foundations of the nation’s freedom. The flag of the United States represents freedom and has been an enduring symbol of the country’s ideals since its early days. During both events, Americans also remember their loyalty to the nation, reaffirm their belief in liberty and justice, and observe the nation’s unity.

Many people in the United States honor this day by displaying the American flag at homes and public buildings. Other popular ways of observing this holiday include: flag-raising ceremonies; Flag Day services; school quizzes and essay competitions about the American flag; musical salutes; street parades; and awards for special recognition.

Organizations such as The National Flag Day Foundation are actively involved in coordinating activities centered on the event and keeping the flag’s traditions alive. Following Flag Day is Honor America Days, a 21-day period through to Independence Day (July 4) to honor America. During this period, people hold public gatherings and activities to celebrate and honor the nation.

Public life

Although Flag Day is a nationwide observance, it is not a public holiday in many parts of the United States. It is a legal holiday in a few areas in the USA, such as Montour County in Pennsylvania.

Background

On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress replaced the British symbols of the Grand Union flag with a new design featuring 13 white stars in a circle on a field of blue and 13 red and white stripes – one for each state. Although it is not certain, this flag may have been made by the Philadelphia seamstress Betsy Ross, who was an official flag maker for the Pennsylvania Navy. The number of stars increased as the new states entered the Union, but the number of stripes stopped at 15 and was later returned to 13.

In June 1886 Bernard Cigrand made his first public proposal for the annual observance of the birth of the flag when he wrote an article titled “The Fourteenth of June” in the old Chicago Argus newspaper. Cigrand’s effort to ensure national observance of Flag Day finally came when President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation calling for a nationwide observance of the event on June 14, 1916. However, Flag Day did not become official until August 1949, when President Harry Truman signed the legislation and proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day. In 1966, Congress also requested that the President issue annually a proclamation designating the week in which June 14 occurs as National Flag Week.

The President is requested to issue each year a proclamation to: call on government officials in the USA to display the flag of the United States on all government buildings on Flag Day; and to urge US residents to observe Flag Day as the anniversary of the adoption on June 14, 1777, by the Continental Congress of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States.

Symbols

The American flag, also nicknamed as “Old Glory” or “star-spangled banner”, has changed designs over the centuries. It consists of 13 equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton bearing 50 small, white, five-pointed stars. Each of the 50 stars represent the 50 states in the United States and the 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies that became the first states in the Union.

Flag day is special to me, my Dad was born on this day and he would go on to serve our Country in WWII as a Sgt. in the U.S. Marines. He would come back from the war and become Assn’t Fire Chief and Transportation Director for the School in Windom, Minn. We had an All-American life! Dad would joke every Flag Day that the flag was being flown because it was his birthday! I will never forget that on one of his birthdays he bought me my first new bike! That would be my Dad, giving gifts on his birthday, he knew I needed a new bike for my paper route. By the way my birthday is on July 4th! So the Flag of the United States of America has many meanings to me, most of all it represents the greatest country in history, the United States of America, founded by God.

We fly the flag every day at the Moede house, I encourage you to do the same.

Thanks for stopping by for a CUP!
