All the pageantry due a US President, who served in the military during wartime, was breaking news on TV this afternoon. How grateful I am for that interruption. How encouraging to see the respect and gratitude poured out on the Bush family.
Not only was President Bush's legacy honored but his faith was front and center also. As the casket proceeded to the steps of the Capitol two hymns of faith were played. "My Faith Looks Up to Thee" and "A Mighty Fortress is Our God." Hooray to the Bush family for not worrying about political correctness but only about honoring their "Pop" and his faith.
How fitting was the glorious sunset provided by the Creator God of the universe as one of His beloved's casket entered the rotunda of the US Capitol.
Thank you Lord for a godly man who passed on His faith to the next generation. (Psalm 71:18, Psalm 145:5)
