Jesus did not call His people to hide.
He called us to shine.
In our homes, schools, churches, and public life, may the light of Christ be clear, humble, and full of grace.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
-------------------
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
The American flag will be raised again overnight and will be visible to visitors beginning Saturday morning. Weather conditions may periodically require the flag to be temporarily lowered.
The patriotic lighting display will continue nightly through July 4, illuminating Hoover Dam and the surrounding canyon walls starting at dusk. To better accommodate visitors, the top-of-dam and Memorial Bridge walkways will remain open until 10 p.m. each night.
This is so cool. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
🇺🇸 Just in case you forgot why you have a three-day weekend…
This is it.
Not the barbecues. Not the beach trips. Not the sales.
This is the reason.
The folded flag. The final salute. The ultimate sacrifice so the rest of us could be free.
This Memorial Day, we honor the fallen.
We remember their names. And we never take this freedom for granted.
NEW: Astronaut Victor Glover shares the gospel to a crowd who welcomed him back home to Houston, Texas.
People were seen lining the streets to welcome Glover back home.
“Some of us have never met before. And you know whose fault that is? Ours. So let's choose to do this. Let's be this more. Let's be neighbors.”
“I don't know if you heard me say it, but God told us to love Him with all that we are and love our neighbors as ourselves.”
What a remarkable person.
