Standing Through My Pillars

Hebrews12:18-24-

Daisy Bates was an Arkansas Native Born in Huttig Arkansas, at the age of 3 she lost her mother two 3 racist White men and had to be raised in a foster home. At the age of 15 Daisy Bates was married to a man that owned an editing business, printing news paper Daisy and her husband fought racism fueled by her tragic loss of her mother she fought for equality in Little Rock Arkansas she organized what we call the Little Rock 9 to enroll in 1954 even through threats and her house being rocked she stood for equality. Daisy Bates sacrificed a lots for us to go to school even with her life being threatened she stood. We should be grateful today because of the ones that stood for equality. I am a Fire Captain and I am not taking one ounce of my position for granted I am thankful for the black men that has stood before me and fought the fight of equality before me so that I can stand now with joy and gladness, but I take not an ounce of my rank for granted. To many times we take our parents or the ones that have tried to lead us in the right way for granted, we are to non shalunt about the one that rocked us to sleep when we couldn''t even walk, the one the clothed us and bathed us, we forget the reason that we are hear today is because somebody watched over me!

…..We must not forget where we have come from to embrace this joyous walk of life.

What can we do to Stand through our Pillars ?

Our lesson for today tells us two things that we must happen if we are going to Stand through our Pillars! We must remember the past and embrace the Present!

First We must remember the Past! 18-21

A. Reminder of the Past!

Ex…. Im reminded of my grandfather telling me stories of how it use to be. He had to go to school with holes in his shoes and had to wash clothes everyday just to make it through. He had to quit school around the 4th grade to help take care of the family. They didn’t have bathrooms like we have now they had what you called out houses.

Second we must embrace the Present! 22-24
