The symbol that will always keep its promise.
As we continue to celebrate the Fourth of July, watch Martha Williamson's patriotic tribute to the symbol of our freedom, the American flag.
Dear Friends,
I remember being a little girl and getting a dollar from my father to "buy" one of these poppies. (Remember the strange, stiff crepe paper with the dusty red color that rubbed off?!). As a small child, I simply thought they were flowers that meant "Spring is Here." As an adult, they mean so much more. And I miss them. How about you? Read this fascinating story behind the poppies from the US government's internet history site and tell me if you remember, too.
Dear Friends,
We're keeping our Valentine's video going through the week-end to encourage as many hearts as possible, especially the lonely ones. If you know someone who could use a boost on Valentine's Day, please use the link above to pass it along to a friend who may be alone and discouraged.
We also have some other romance and valentine-related videos posted here for you to take a look at. And we'll have a brand new video for you next Tuesday.
In the meantime, please consider this - that love, romantic love, family love, filial love, patriotic love, love for friends, for beauty, for truth, love that lifts and supports and hopes all things and endures all things, every kind of true love has a Source that is Love Itself. It is the Love that never leaves us, forsakes us, or betrays us. It is the Love that created you and me and even St. Valentine and formed a place in our hearts to carry that love. No other love can fill that God-shaped space.
This Valentine's Day, don't be afraid to tell the ones you love that you love them. If you've lost them, go find them. And if that God-shaped hole in your heart is still waiting to be filled, this just might be a great day to let His love find YOU.
Love to all,
Martha

Hello, Friends!
I hope you have enjoyed hearing Keb' Mo's beautiful song. It won't hurt to hear it again and perhaps pass it along to a friend today!
You may notice that there is not a new video posted today. My husband and I received a surprise invitation to attend the inauguration and, never having seen an inauguration before, we made a last-minute trip to Washington, D.C. to witness a piece of history.
I apologize to those of you who were expecting a new video. But I'm happy to share a few non-partisan thoughts about our week in Washington. Most inspiring to me, for example, were the clear expressions of faith and goodwill extended from person to person and stranger to stranger as I walked down the streets and rode the subways of our nation's capital.
Dear Friends,
I don't know the exact quotation, but I recall words very much like these: "Anyone can be great, because anyone can serve." Whatever the specific words were, that message from Martin Luther King, Jr. is clear - each on of us has something to offer and through the service of that gift to others, we become greater than we are and the world becomes a little greater, too.
