We Must Remain Steadfast in the Lord!

This week we have written some thoughts down concerning the recent ruling in a California court by a panel of three judges which threatens to change the law of the land regarding their freedom to home school.



By Victoria

Our country was founded on Biblical truth,
As men followed God, even in their youth.

Our forefathers wanted us to be free,
To follow God’s word, you see.

And soon after that we began to share,
God’s good news from here to there.

From sea to sea we teach God’s word,
Until the people from every nation have heard.

But now our country is failing,
In forsaking our Daily Bread we are ailing.

Now it is our own country that is lost,
And it needs to hear God’s laws, no matter what the cost.

As in a big state that is near us,
Taking away parental rights and thus . . .

Is Washington State next to fall?
Or will we stand strong to our call.

We must remain steadfast in the Lord,
And not be afraid to use the Sword!

That was beautiful, Victoria. Cannot believe it came from a little "yellow" 11-yr old. It was spoken wonderfully and truthfully. It needs to be broadcast far and wide!!! I am so thankful that you are all sooo grounded in the LORD. You will always love the Lord not matter what happens, just as I will always love you no matter what happens!!! Meemom
