HAPPY
INDEPENDENCE
DAY!
What first comes to mind when you think of this holiday? Maybe it is the colors red, white and blue...stars and stripes...fireworks...parades...cookouts with hamburgers and hot dogs...freedom! For some, it is an opportunity for family gatherings, a celebration of our freedom, and for many of us, a chance to enjoy a day off from work to relax and benefit from the summer weather. For others, it provides an opportunity to reflect on our national heritage, and the steps that were taken so that we may live in a country ruled by democracy, and one that offers us religious freedom. We are fortunate to be able to attend any number of churches or various denominations, offering a diverse range of worship styles to meet our needs. We can choose freely the manner and method of worship which is most-effective to our personal growth as Christians. Sadly, for much of the world, this is not the case.
So, on the day when we gather for a day of fun and celebration, remember that as Christians, we celebrate more than just national and religious freedom. As we look into the skies at the amazing fireworks displays meant to remind us of our patriotic freedom, let us not forget to also look into the skies and the heavens beyond, and be reminded of the freedom from sin and death that was given to us by the Grace of God. We are truly blessed in so many ways!
Have a wonderful and safe Holiday!
Krista
