Blessed be the name of the Lord for a glorious parade through the Boston Gardens on the Fourth of July. Just under a thousand home educators, some in period costume, some not, but all praising the Lord, singing hymns and giving thanks to the God of liberty. Below are some images and a lovely note from one observer:
“The Children’s Parade this past Saturday in Boston was a delight! From the beautiful costumes, to the smiles on faces of every age, glorious memories are etched on my mind. What an experience for all! Walking with my dear friends in the lush gardens, listening to heartfelt hymns being sung and savoring the joyful reactions of the children around me, made me so grateful for the freedoms God has allowed in my life.
“My husband had an opportunity to speak with a couple watching the parade, who were full of questions about the event. They were thrilled that Christians would come to honor the heroes of the Reformation in their city, and emphatically stated, “Boston needs this!” Truly the parade was a culmination of a time which inspired hope and encouraged fortitude to stay the course and run the race. May each and every child who marched in the parade be ever mindful of God’s grace in their lives, and may this opportunity to be a part of the Reformation 500 Celebration be life changing for all.” Blessings, Dorys Lee
