Last week, I checked out an America-themed book from the library. As I read it to my kids before bedtime, I got tears in my eyes as the book showed the statue of the soldiers pushing up the flag at Iwo Jima. It honestly puts tears in my eyes thinking about it now!

Our flag is a symbol of sacrifice, valor, protection, courage, victory and more.  We recognize that the flag isn’t what we honor, but what the flag represents.

If you’ve still got some flags hanging around from Independence Day, you can use it to help your kids understand honoring and respecting God, too. {read my full post at the Tommy Nelson blog and have a flag adventure with your kids today!}
