Good Morning, My Friends! Happy Monday and Happy July 4th! May God bless your day! I hope your day is filled with family, friends, happiness and good times!
I still believe I live in the greatest Country on earth. Yes, we have flaws, imperfections and negativity. But, we also have a lot of good. A whole lot of good.
Our Country’s independence wasn’t gained easily. It was a hard-fought battle. I can’t even begin to understand what the Soldiers were going through on September 13, 1814 in Baltimore Harbor.
As the sun rose and the mist from the smoke cleared on September 14, 1814, the sight of the 30′ by 42′ American flag waving in the wind must have been a sight to behold.
As Francis Scott Key looked for the American flag in the smoke, he penned the words to our National Anthem. And I still love those words.
I am sending you July 4th hugs to say, “Happy July 4th. I pray your day is filled with peace and happiness. And I pray you feel the blessings I am sending with your hug”.
I also wanted to pray a short, simple prayer and send it with your hug. Please pray this prayer with me and receive the blessings I am sending with it.
Dear God, Be with us today on this beautiful July 4th. Bless us and protect us as we go about our day. Give us beautiful weather, good times with family and friends and peace for our hearts and homes.
Help us all to remember what celebration of this day means–we are celebrating and thanking God for our freedom.
No matter what you have going on in your life, no matter what is going on in the world, we are a free people. And that is so important.
Remind us, as we are surrounded by our families, that family celebrating our freedom is possible only because we live in a free Country.
Thank You, Lord, for all the brave service men and women who sacrificed everything and those who still do everything they can to preserve our freedom.
Provide for them and their families and meet all their needs. Make a way for them where there seems to be no way.
May we use today to honor You and reflect Your love. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Sending you blessings of gratitude and love from Sterrett, Alabama!
