There is something just awesome and perfect about sitting under an oak tree watching the sun go down on a large pond waiting for the fireworks to start!
This was our view yesterday evening. Celebrating the 4th of July, America's Independence Day with some friends in our little town. We saw an amazing fireworks show and the kids ran and played. Even the mosquitoes weren't too bad for a change. It did make me think though. I love my country, even when I'm aggravated at it.
However, my personal independence does not come from my country. It doesn't come from my husband or my children. My personal independence comes from only God above. He gave me my life back, gave me light again to shine in this world that is so dark at times we cannot recognize each other. If I don't appreciate that independence first then what am I showing him, other than ingratitude. I want to show him and tell him every day how thankful I am and how much more I want to be like his own son that gave it all for us those many years ago.
This year, starting on July 5th, I am going to try my very hardest to show God every day how thankful I am for not only the life he has given me, but for the light that he brought into my life when I gave my soul over to him!
