I Remember

I remember all of my family members.

The 1775 Lexington Alarm Colonial War And I.

My ancestors fought for my country of my birth America. The first
battle of the Revolutionary War, fought in Massachusetts on April 19,
1775. British troops had moved from Boston toward Lexington and Concord
to seize the colonists’ military supplies and arrest revolutionaries. In
 Concord, advancing British troops met resistance from the Minutemen,
and American volunteers harassed the retreating British troops along the
 Concord-Lexington Road. Paul Revere, on his famous ride, had first
alerted the Americans to the British movement. My family was there and
we fought for our country!

Beyond a doubt we Sloanes are descended from patriots that marched on
 the alarm of 1775. From the



archives; MASSACHUSETTS Soldiers and
Sailors of the Revolutionary War. The sons’, of David Slone b. abt.
1700, of Dorchesterand John Slone Jr., a grandson of David of
Dorchester, all served in the Revolutionary War. Anyone tracing their
lineage back to these patriots would prove SAR/DAR eligibility . I trace
 back to David of Dorchester (John, Timothy, Charles) can also prove
eligibility through  (Molly) Mary Polly Silvester (wife of Timothy) who
was a daughter of Philip Silvester son of Benjamin Silvester.

I am also traced back to the Mayflower Pilgrims.

So is it any wonder that I am so passionate about America? That I am
so concerned with the things that go on in America? My family has lived
here from the beginning of this great nation and has fought for her
freedom always.

And the list goes on and on…

this is my country!

So when I do research and see what is going on in my country I get
concerned as do many others. I am a voice that started a long time ago
in America. There is a family heritage that belongs to me. I believe
that as a family member of the founding fathers of this great nation my
prayers and conversation with God over America have some value.

Today we are seeing strife. There is a battle in America.

Pray fervently.

There is room for all people at the cross no matter what age, race,
or nationality. And when you become His child, He enlarges your heart to
 love all of His people even those who wounded you. He will make enough
room in your heart to overlook the willful and hurtful transgressions of
 others. Whereas, you could not do this before you came to Christ.

Pray for peace in America.

In the gospel of John chapter four, Jesus gives us this same
principle by loving and forgiving someone who would be considered as an
outsider or even as an enemy. When He came to Jacob’s Well in Samaria,
Jesus sat down and asked a woman of religious and cultural mixture for a
 drink. If a Jew, other than Christ had met that woman at the well, she
would have been ignored and shunned because of her background, let alone
 her gender. Jesus did not allow anything to alter his deliberate
treatment of her as being someone created and loved by God. That day she
 was given living water from God Himself.



If you want to continue to experience the same fullness as the woman
at the well, you have to start by forgiving those the world says should
be your enemy. You offer love and forgiveness, whether it is accepted or
 not. The moment you do, it will be as though you have dug out all the
dirt from the old wells of Abraham, and living water will begin to flow
again. Just think of the impact you would have in the workplace if you
forgive a co-worker who had wounded you. Think how everyone on the job
would marvel that you would actually reach out to this hurtful person
and offer friendship to them again.



The sonnet on a plaque inside the pedestal that the statue of Liberty stands reads:

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

The only Statue of Liberty inscription can be found on the tablet in her
 left hand, which says JULY IV MDCCLXXVI (July 4, 1776), the day the
United States adopted the Declaration of Independence.

America is independent. America is free. Let us keep it that way.

God has chosen the United States of America to lead the way for Christian Freedom as we await the return of our Lord.
