TAPS
DAY is DONE, GONE the SUN
From the LAKE, from the HILLS, from the SKY.
ALL is WELL, SAFELY REST - GOD is NIGH.
The 1st fold of the flag is a symbol of LIFE.
The 2nd fold is a symbol of the belief in ETERNAL LIFE.
The 3rd fold
is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing the ranks who gave
a portion of their lives for the defense of the country to attain peace throughout the world.
The 4th fold represents the weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to
Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war for His divine guidance.
The 5th fold is a tribute to the country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, "Our Country,
in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.
The 6th fold is for where people's hearts lie. It is with their heart that They pledge allegiance to
the flag of the United! States Of America, and the Republic for which it stands,
one Nation under GOD, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
The 7th fold
is a tribute to its Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that they protect their
country and their flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within
or without the boundaries of their republic.
The 8th fold
is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the Light of Day.
The 9th fold
is a tribute to womanhood, and Mothers. For it has been through their Faith, their love, loyalty and devotion
that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded.
The 10th fold
is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of their country since they were first born.
The 11th fold
represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon
and glorifies in the Hebrews eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The 12th fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the
Christians eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.
The 13th fold,
or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding
them of their nations motto, "In GOD We Trust."
(ZionsCRY - The triangle final shape represent the Triune GOD, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.)
After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat,
ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the
Sailors and Marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their
comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for them the
rights, privileges and freedoms they enjoy today.
There are some traditions and ways of doing things that have deep meaning. In the future,
you'll see flags folded and now you will know why. Share this with the children you love and
all others who love what is referred to, the symbol of Liberty and Freedom. (From Email)
The Faith of our Fathers - has died.
If life is hard now when things are normal, WHAT will you do when all we know collapses?
If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out, Then how can you compete with horses?
If you fall down in a land of peace, How will you do in the thicket of the Jordan? Jeremiah 12:5
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. Joel 3:14
When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth? Luke 18:8
You do not have because you do not ask.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives. James 4:-23
You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
Preaching Another Jesus
Rick Warren's emerging church movements today have redefined God's Word and are embracing
the old Gnostic quest for secret knowledge. Stamping out faith in Biblical absolutes is central
to this transformation. A mind anchored in God's Word won't compromise. Today's church
leaders envision a spiritual oneness that must exclude God's "divisive" gospel and absolute Truths.
WHO DEFINES THE KINGDOM OF GOD?:
My kingdom is not of this world. Jesus Christ in John 18:36
