Today we celebrate the birth of our great country!
As I think about what our founder fathers did for us in declaring independence and freedom…
When I think about what the amazing and brave men and women who serve to protect that freedom do every day for us…
I’m reminded of a song I used to sing every 4th of July weekend, God Bless The USA (by Lee Greenwood).
I’m proud to be an American
Where at least I know I’m free
And I won’t forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up
Next to you and defend her still today
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA
Then I think about the One who gave the ultimate sacrifice for my freedom, Jesus Christ. I’m reminded that because of what He did for me, I am free! I am no longer condemned because of the sin I’ve committed, but I’ve been set free from sin’s grip in my life and I am so very thankful to Him for that freedom!
