I had the opportunity to explain the significance of the Fourth of July to two of my grandchildren this afternoon. Since our first Independence Day was 249 years ago, I guess we really can’t quite comprehend its magnitude.
Today we celebrated with lots of fun stuff. We saw a great parade in Lexington complete with bands and horses and fire engines and motorcycles and the requisite political stuff. We attended a baseball game where we saw 5 home runs, wild pitches, double plays and a bunch of runs and, of course hot dogs, hamburgers, pretzels, ice cream, baseballs, glowsticks. The cherry on top was an 18-minute fireworks display! Awesome.
Let us never forget the sacrifices paid by men and women through the years to establish and protect our freedoms.

LORD, thank you for our land of the free and home of the brave. May we never take our country for granted. But more importantly, Lord, may we never take you or your love for granted. For it is by your love and sacrifice that we are free from death and will celebrate our spiritual victory one day with you in heaven.
