Happy Fourth of July!

Wednesday is Independance Day, a day for those of us in the USA to celebrate our freedom. This year I have been thinking more than I have in the past about those who have given so much to allow for our freedom. It is one of those things that I have known, but not neccesarily taken to heart until it affected my own family. So, I will be thankful today for those who have given of their time with family and especially to those who have given their life for the good of the country. I am also thankful that God allowed me to be born in a place that allowed me to grow up knowing him and allows us to worship him publicly. This also brings to mind the ultimate freedom that we have as christians . Christ made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and it doesn't matter what country we live in. "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" John 8:36. All we have to do is accept him and we will be free forever! That is the best Independance Day!
