Independence Day:

July 4, 2011

Today Nick & I are reflecting on how we are blessed to live in a country with so many freedoms. The freedom of speech, religion, etc. I know I often take this for granted and forget about how many people in other countries are persecuted for what they believe or stand for. Happy 4th to all you dear friends and hope you have a wonderful day spending time with family&friends.

oh hello

    Happy fourth to you too! I have to admit I'm a little homesick on this day :( No celebrations and fireworks here in England, lol! I miss me some hotdogs too. mmmm hotdogs. Everybody eat some for me.

    I've typically only looked at today as a lesson in history, fireworks, and cook-outs. Now that I'm older, it's really meaningful to reflect on the incredible gift of our freedom to worship God and declare ourselves whole-hearted followers of Jesus.
    I hope you and Nick are loving your first 4th of July as a married couple!
