July 1, 2005 Independence Day Blessings of Liberty

Half the year is gone, and we are coming up on the 4th of July.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and holiday. My husband Ron's sister and brother-in-law always host a 4th of July cookout for the whole family. Everyone has a terrific time.

Good food. Lots of laughter. Lots of fireworks-- A special family time to celebrate the birth of a wonderful, generous, and good nation that has endured through good times and bad.

I was talking with my children recently about the hardships the early patriots faced. Mostly we talked about the patriots' passion for freedom, and their willingness to sacrifice all, even their lives, for their beliefs.

This is a special country. Blessed. A beacon of light to the world. May we continue to hold freedom dear.

Happy 4th!
