It's about 1:15am and I just finished watching a movie titled "Hidden Figures"...
If we look closely at our own ancestry/lineage, we would find stories of these and more; Courage. Hard work. Determination. Perseverance. Resilience. For some, there may not be a lot of 'good stories' but I believe there would be at least, one! And one is enough to inspire! :) It's always a beautiful thing to be reminded of the awesome lineage we can trace our families to. Men and women of courage and truth. Faith of our fathers, holy faith...we will be true to Thee till death! Hallelujah!

This hymn came to mind:
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
Our God, our fathers’ God;
Thou hast kept Thy pilgrim people
By the strength of Thy staff and rod;
Thou hast called us to the journey
Which faithless feet ne’er trod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee:
Our God, our fathers’ God.
For the love of Christ constraining,
That bound their hearts as one;
For the faith in truth and freedom
In which their work was done;
For the peace of God’s evangel
Wherewith their feet were shod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee:
Our God, our fathers’ God.
We are watchers of a beacon
Whose light must never die;
We are guardians of an altar
That shows Thee ever nigh;
We are children of Thy freemen
Who sleep beneath the sod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee:
Our God, our fathers’ God.
May the shadow of Thy presence
Around our camp be spread;
Baptize us with the courage
Thou gavest to our dead;
O keep us in the pathway
Their saintly feet have trod;
For the might of Thine arm we bless Thee,
Our God, our fathers’ God.
