As we celebrate Independence Day, I wanted to say how blessed I feel to have been born in the United States of America. It feels so good to know that I can worship my God freely and without risk of persecution. I am also so thankful that I have never witnessed war in my own backyard. Thank you to all the military families {past and present} who make this way of life possible for us. I can't imagine the sacrifices and stresses you have had to endure. I am so grateful for all the men and women who have fought and fight now for this country.
Have a wonderful holiday everyone! It's going to be an EXTRA hot one here--we plan to enjoy a cookout at my parents' house and maybe do some swimming at some friends' of ours. Happy Fourth of July!

Ditto those blessed feelings-- I am one of those people who gets teary singing the star spangled banner cause I think about that freedom and am overwhelmed. Have a great holiday!

Praise God! I love that pic...I'm so glad Yolanda took that! That flag was simply the biggest I'd ever seen, LOL.
