Thankful to Live Free

'Blessed' is the word I would use to sum up this day. 


     This morning when Micah came into our room to let us know that we had slept long enough and that we couldn't possibly need anymore sleep, my amazing husband got up with him and let me sleep 30 more minutes. When I finally did get up at 7, I found Lin feeding Levi in the living room, and breakfast (a peanut butter and jelly blueberry bagel) waiting for me on top of the stove. Talk about spoiled. :) My man knows me well.


     At 10, we walked up Main St a little to be part of the kids' parade. The gist of it is that all the kids deck out their strollers, wagons, bikes, etc. in patriotic gear and all walk/ride to the local park where there are games, face painting, food, and music waiting. Lin, of course, planned ahead and drove the van to the park then walked back and met us on Main Street to walk with us. This way the van was waiting for us when we got done. He also is a modern day superhero, but I think I've stroked his ego enough already for one post. ;)

Micah's ready to get the show on the road.
Levi's obviously thrilled to be there too.

     As we celebrated the act that eventually led to the US becoming a free nation, we are thankful live here. We are reminded though that we are a global people and a global Church. We are thankful to live free, but more importantly, we are thankful to BE free in Christ.
