Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day!  We pray that this day will be full of joy and gratefulness for the liberty that God has given us through brave and selfless people.  We thank God for giving the founders of America the strength, wisdom, and blessing that was needed to be victorious over a mighty enemy.

This day has become even more special to us as we remember walking along the fields and meadows in Massachusetts where some of the most trying battles for our freedom took place.  If it weren't for those people who fought so bravely, we would not be free.
