Today, we Americans, celebrate Independence
Day. A day where some 241 years ago our
forefathers took pen in hand and signed the Declaration of Independence from
England. This day is traditionally
celebrated with barbecues, fireworks and being with family and friends. As we celebrate today let us remember that we
are celebrating the gift of freedom that we have. We need to use our freedom wisely so that
future generations will enjoy the same ideals we embrace. Our freedom did not come without cost. The desire for freedom came with the reality
of overcoming fear. The founding fathers
feared for their lives, their families and their freedom yet they were
steadfast in their conviction of freedom.
As we celebrate this day let us take a moment to pause and reflect on
the great faith and vision these men had and pray a prayer of gratitude for
those who continue to fight for our freedom.
May God always bless the United States of America!
