This year I was reminded why the 4th of July was my favorite holiday as a little girl. It is a celebration not only of our blessings in this country, but of family and of summer. We worshipped well, ate well, played well, and them slept well!
Holidays are always better as seen through the eyes of children. Lauren and Jimmy, and Belen (even though she had no clue it was the 4th of July) all had the best time playing at the park, in the back yard, running under the sprinkler and lighting sparklers, the whole while with steaks sizzling on the grill! After putting the babies to bed, we set off fireworks (my favorite) and noone lost any fingers or blew up their faces (although some of Jimmy's toys were casualties).
Thank you God for such simple pleasures!
Love,
Dawn
