Happy 4th of July!!!

So thankful for the blessing of living in America! It's a wonderful country! This is a picture of last year 4th of July in Virginia with Daniel. Bethany memorized this poem for school, and I really like it, so I thought I would share it. :-) 

"Freedom Rings"
By Jill Lemming

Starry skies and moonlit nights,
Such beauty in our land...   
We're so thankful for these blessings                                                  
That come from God's own hand.

The right to vote, to have a choice,                                                    
In a nation proud and strong,                                                        
And on this Independence Day,                                                      
We sing our Freedom's Song.

We salute our flag so proudly,                                                          
And thank God for the chance to say...                                              
"There's no country we love better,                                                
Than the good ol USA!"

Today we'll gather together                                                          
With our family and our friends...                                                      
Giving thanks to our Heavenly Father,                                          
For the blessings that He sends.

Thank you Lord for America,                                                              
A place where we can pray...                                                          
We give you all the glory                                                                    
On this Independence Day!
