Celebrating Freedom

It's the 4th of July!  Time to celebrate the freedom that was given to us by God through the means of brave men and women.  

 Our friends, the Carruths, invited us over and they live outside the city limits...so you know what THAT means!  FIREWORKS! It took us a while, but we finally picked some that were fun and yes, of course, safe.  

 Justin and his buddy, Sam enjoy dinner on the front porch.  Justin would have just eaten watermelon I think.

 Jane and her pals, Asher and Annie.  :)

 Lisa, Laura and Stephanie - my gal pals!  I praise the Lord for these ladies!

 Throwing those little poppers....even the Daddies joined in the fun.

While we praise the Lord for the freedoms we enjoy in this life, let us not forget the freedom that was purchased for us on the cross by Jesus Christ.  There is now no condemnation for those found in Him and we are free from the bonds of sin.  (Romans 8:1)  I look forward to my eternal home, the true 'Land of the Free!'
