My ancestors were involved in that civil disobedience we call “the Revolution”. As dad an I were discussing what is happening and what will happen in front of a nice warm fire last night, he said:
“Do you suppose that Daniel and Michael sat discussing the what was happening and what might happen in front of their hearths? Were they concerned...frightened? I'm sure they prayed with their families.
Then they took action”:
They both signed the Bradford Accord and sent it to their governor. When that didn't help, they joined up, Daniel leaving his wife, week old son, and crops in the fields, spent the winter at Valley Forge (visited with his German relatives of Christmas Eve. Michael went to Fort Pitt. They fought for this Constitution, and I'll be Dmmmmmd, if I'll allow others to trample it without a fight. No matter what the future brings.......So let's pray as their wives and families did around our hearths......Pray with all our hearts that We the People win this battle. God be with those in the front lines today
Pray
That’s a beautiful story. The thought went through my mind, too, about all the soldiers who weathered through the horrible winter at Valley Forge in 1778, and I couldn’t help but wonder what they would have thought about all the ‘conservatives’ who keep telling us that we need to get over this and move on to ‘more important things’...
