All of these sounds wonderful, sounds like you enjoyed your 4th of July! BTW-I ALWAYS cry when I sing any patriotic song. I get it from my Mom, sometimes I really hate that I'm such a crier.
I get teary over patriotic songs too!
Why are you preparing a lesson if you're the counselor? Why aren't you preparing activities?
Wonder Woman!
I can say "ditto" to a lot of those! Sounds like a busy yet wonderful weekend. I can sing all the other patriotic songs fine without crying, but for some reason the Star Spangled Banner always gets me.
It was the first sunday of the month, so we were all together.
When I sing the Star Spangled Banner, I just picture those men holding up our flag through the night, and people watching from afar seeing it in the light of the bomb blasts. The struggle, the dedication and patriotism, the sacrifice! I'm so glad we won!
You're in the YW? Ha!
Actually, I'm sure you'll be great, but my first reaction was the rude, callous one, since you don't have any daughters. How did the lesson go?
