A short talk given by five-year-old Mary in the Primary of the Bountiful Twentieth Ward on Sunday morning, July 1, 1990, and published in the Family Journal on Monday, July 16, 1990. Our country was celebrating its 214th birthday on July 4, 1990. In another two months Mary would begin Kindergarten.
This Wednesday is the Fourth of July, our country’s birthday. In the Book of Mormon it tells us how Heavenly Father has blessed this land and made it a special place.
It says: “Behold, this is a choice land and it shall be free from all other nations if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ.”
I hope we can celebrate our country’s birthday, not only with fun and fireworks but also by following Jesus and keeping His commandments.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
