Happy Independence Day!
I hope you all have a great weekend and an enjoyable Independence Day! Don’t forget to remember the One to whom our Founding Fathers looked for wisdom and guidance as they were establishing a fledgling country that, as they’d hoped, would grow into a thriving beacon of hope and freedom for the world to follow. Also, don’t forget those men who were willing to pay the ultimate price to insure that the dreams of our forefathers would come to fruition. This country, indeed, has an incredibly vast and rich heritage for such a comparatively young country. For today, let’s reflect on what this country was born from, its incredible path to be a world super-power, what makes this country as great as it is, and what we can each do to strengthen this country.
We can have differences in opinion. We can even have political debates over our burgers and hot dogs. We can attend a Tea Party. We can attend our local church to praise the Lord for what He’s done for us. We can own property. We can drive our cars. We can, within the bounds of the law, do what we please, go where we want to, say what’s on our mind. That is the freedom our ancestors longed for. That is the liberty our young men died for. That is the independence we have this celebration for. May we all remember where we come from, who we are, and our responsibility to insure what this nation will be. Again, I hope you all have a wonderful Independence Day and that you take this day to celebrate, with your family and friends, this country, its origins, and its future.
