Happy 4th of July RacersReunion Family
Today as I drove back from a family and friends get together I took some time to reflect on what the 4th of July means to me. It's different for everyone but I believe we can all agree that it's a holiday that reminds us of how blessed we are to live in the U.S. I would like everyone to take some time tonight to reflect on what this day means to you and your family.
This is what it means to me in a few brief words.
Freedom - It's an amazing the things in this world that we get to experience everyday as Americans. May we always value it for what it's truly worth.
Sacrifice - Today we remember our military heroes past, present, and future. The sacrifices they made and continue to make allow us to live the way we do. May we each attempt to appreciate the selflessness that all Veterans have shown. Please keep our military and their families in your prayers today and every day.
The American Dream - We can do anything and be anything, as long as we're willing to put effort into it. We are not entitled to anything but we are free to pursue our own happiness with so few limitations.
Family & Friends - They mean the world to us and help make us who we are. We can't imagine life without them and consider them our most treasured blessings this side of Heaven.
Fireworks & Festivities - As Americans, we love our celebrations. Relaxing, watching fireworks, and sharing a BBQ are just a few ways we love to celebrate Independence Day.
America the Beautiful - We're reminded of how beautiful a land we live and play in. For the 4th, we were at my brother and sister in-laws in Sumter doing some swimming, BBQing, and just some plain ole fellowship. Does it get any better than that???
What about you, what does the 4th of July mean to you? How did you celebrate with your family and friends? I'd love to hear what you did on the day that commemorates the birth of the best nation in the world. God bless the USA!
