Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day!

For some reason this year I really focused on what Independence Day is really all about. I think so much of the time we get caught up in the fact that it is just a day we do something "fun", like cook-outs and fireworks, but its not about a tradition of partying, but rather a tradition in celebrating the declaration, and that's what it's all about.
It amazes me that everyone now says Happy July 4th, as if its just a "day", we may as well just say Happy June 16th or August 1st and so on, its about the events that took place on July 4th 1776! Just a note in remembrance to our country:-) So on this fine July 4th just remember this country and the people in history God chose to use, and the signing of the declaration!
