SW in Texas Writing This - June 19, 2025 Glory Be To YAH! HALLALEYAH! This day Juneteenth June 19, 2005 is a festive day for the Tribe called Judah. It began back in 1866 in Texas, and was brought to you, one year after General No. 3 was signed in Galveston, Texas had ended slavery. When church going folks, would come out and celebrate their newly found freedom. The celebration that finally became a National Holiday under the 46th POTUS administration.
Opal Lee, known as the 'Grandmother of Juneteenth' is pictured above holding Vice President Kamala Harris's hand. Ms. Opal Lee, campaign for years to make this day a national holiday, with her yearly 2.5 mile walks. Only took 159 years to make this a National Holiday. So when you say my people are not patience, enough with that already.
"A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit." Proverbs 29:23 KJV
And what a spirit it is. A holy spirit that lets us 'still rise'. This is why red velvet cake, strawberry soda and other red colored foods are popular among 'us' here in America, the so-called Black Americans(aka African-Americans), I don't claim that(AA) title as the name derives from two Caucasian men. A Daughter of Zion is what and who I am. Glory Be To YAH!
Nonetheless, as we celebrate this day, for those of us, who are off and those who had to work. Let's sing our theme song for this day; "Lift Every Voice and Sing". First and foremost, all praises and glory and honor is to due to our King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus Christ(YAHSHUA HAMSCHIC).
"Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the LORD." Psalm 150: 1-6 KJV
Enjoy the day, for we don't know what the next day brings. Here comes the boom. A update to this blog post is coming shortly.
"Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." Proverbs 27:1 KJV
Shalom.
