Sea BreezesLord God Almighty, in whose Name the founders of this country won liberty for themselves and for us, and lit the torch of freedom for themselves and for nations then unborn: Grant that we and all the people of this land may have grace to maintain our liberties in righteousness and peace through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen
In my dreams, my grand babies all live next door to us. We can babysit, anytime, have them over for dinner, anytime, visit them anytime, play with them, anytime, anytime we want. On this Fourth of July, we celebrate freedom, all sorts. One of the most precious freedoms is Family Freedom. Yes, I know it is not an official freedom, but today I have been contemplating the word freedom. As Christians, we have freedom in Christ, freedom from having to suffer for our own sins. Wow! With that kind of freedom, what do we do with our lives? Since the price of our sin has been paid by the precious Lamb of God, we are worry free! That is true freedom. We are free to move forward and do as He commanded, love one another. We are free to love the precious gift of our family. Hence, Family Freedom. To all of you whom we call family, we love you. Blake, Tonya, Henley, Lander, Paisley, Greg, Katie, Kennedy, not born yet "Henry", Patrick, you are all our children, our hearts, and we celebrate the freedom today to love you and hold you in our hearts and prayers. We celebrate our "you live next door to us love", and we remind you today that you live in the greatest country in the world. Men and women have traveled before you, risked and given their lives so we can be free. Freedom is not free, Christ paid our ultimate price. We thank Him for you all. May God continue to bless our America and our family.
