Pledge of Allegiance of the United States

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Today it reads:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Section 4 of the Flag Code states:

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute."

DAY 15 - DAILY PRAYER (FAMILIES) - JUNE 8, 2010






To Have Strong Families

Father, I pray for all my brother's and sister's

Help them train their children in the way they should live, and give the children hearts to honor and obey their moms and dads. May the fathers not exasperate their children but bring them up to understand how You want them to live. (1 Corinthians 11:3; Proverbs 22:6; Ephesians 6:1,4)

May every husband love his wife as he loves himself, as Christ loved and was willing to give Himself up for the church. Help husbands not be harsh with their wives but be considerate, treating them with respect so their prayers won’t be hindered. (Ephesians 5:33a, 25; Colossians 3:19; 1 Peter 3:7)

May each wife respect her husband and submit to him as to the Lord, as the church submits to Christ. As all of us are to do, may they submit to one another out of reverence for Christ, each looking to the interests of the other. (Ephesians 5:33b, 22, 21; Philippians 2:4) Keep their families strong and together; help them to be givers and not takers.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

DAY 15 - DAILY HISTORY (FAMILY) - JUNE 8, 2010






GROVER CLEVELAND, DEC. 8, 1885, 1ST ANNUAL
MESSAGE:


The strength, the perpetuity, and the destiny of the nation rest
upon our homes, established by the law of God, guarded by parental
care, regulated by parental authority, and sanctified by parental love...
The mothers of our land, who rule the nation as they mold the
characters and guide the actions of their sons, live according to God’s
Holy Ordinances, and each, secure and happy in the exclusive love of
the father of her children, sheds the warm light of true womanhood,
unperverted and unpolluted, upon all within her pure and wholesome
family circle...
The fathers of our families are the best citizens of the Republic.
Wife and children are the sources of patriotism, and conjugal and
parental affection beget devotion to the country. The man who is
surrounded in his single home with his wife and children has a stake in
the country which inspires him with respect for its laws and courage
for its defense.
