JOHN ADAMS
From a painting by John Singleton Copley, considered the "Father of American painters". My good friend, Ed Copley's, Great something's Grandfather, Ed is a great painter also, (See last post.)
Irene bought a copy of “John Adams”, written by David McCullough, and also his book on the revolutionary war..”1776”. It has been quite awhile since I have read any books and it was a really great reading of the foundation of our country.
For Christmas, Jack and Heather gave me the “Mini Series” on CD. HBO did a marvelous job bringing to life the story of John and Abigail.
I enjoyed going back in time and observing the events and people that Father in Heaven used in setting up this “Great Country” that we have been privileged to come for our sojourn on this earth.
We certainly owe a great deal to the people that were raised up for the purpose of creating a country with the religious freedoms that allowed for the restoration of the Saviors Church. As I read what these great folks went through… and the way Father inspired them to have the desire to actually pull off the separation that they did from the most powerful nation on earth. To drive the “King’s Army” out of this land and to create the only form of government that would provide the freedoms needed for Fathers purposes, was nothing short of miraculous.
The writings of these inspired people are filled with the feelings that they had that God’s “Hand” was in everything that they did in bringing about the formation of this country, and our "Constitution".
At this time of year it is particularly important that we be thankful for what our Father in Heaven and our Elder Brother Jesus have provided us…the opportunity for the path to return to our Father in Heaven as a family.
This family has been and is being “Blessed” beyond what we can even imagine.
