It's America's birthday on Sunday. There is something about the fourth of July that gets me every year. I'm not sure if it's the traditions, the fireworks or the relaxation that it brings but it's close to my favorite holiday.
We've spent every fourth of July at the cabin since I can remember. Dad always buys a large array of fireworks and we relax in the yard and shoot them off. Well, most of us relax! If my mom wasn't there chasing dogs, telling my dad to be careful for the 1,000th time and worrying about waking the baby it wouldn't be the fourth.
I am a proud American. I am proud of what our country stands for, or what it stood for. Lately I've been disappointed in the direction of our country. It is no longer founded on the principles our founding fathers expected. It seems to have lost the "We the people" mentality and politicians are now into what they can get out of the deal. It's sad to watch our country lose everything we have to money hungry people.
This fourth of July, I am going to celebrate my freedoms. I am going to say a prayer for all those amazing men and women fighting for the continuance of my freedom and I am going to ask God to help us get back to where America is supposed to be. I'm also going to enjoy watching Addison's expression to her first fireworks show by Grampy Tom, lay in the sun and thank God that within the next month I am going to be a mother of two little girls.
Life is good. Go America
