My PA didn’t take the day off, so she showed up and got me showered, we took mine & dogs walk. Then we came back did my therapy, body massage and then it was back to bed as I’m still wore out from Saturday.
It was a hot, humid day and one that my allergies just didn’t like. The AC’s have been running none stop lately, my poor electric bill.
Today is more than just a holiday for cooks outs, or whatever you do to celebrate. It’s a day to remember the true reason of this day in history America received her independence which means Freedom of devotion to God Almighty. America was built on the foundation of being a Godly nation, regardless what anyone may tell you. It’s why America flourished & became the powerful nation she did, because of God’s blessings, not man’s doing.
Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining this decision, which had been prepared by a Committee of Five, with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author. Congress debated and revised the wording of the Declaration, finally approving it two days later on July 4. A day earlier, John Adams had written to his wife Abigail:
The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.[7]
Adams's prediction was off by two days. From the outset, Americans celebrated independence on July 4, the date shown on the much-publicized Declaration of Independence, rather than on July 2, the date the resolution of independence was approved in a closed session of Congress
So I ask throughout this holiday, please don’t lose site as to why we truly celebrate this holiday. America received her freedom of liberties & most importantly our freedom to praise the Almighty God whom has blessed us. I fear if our nation doesn’t repent of the sins we seem to accept due to political correctness we in return are destroying our nation. America was founded as a Godly nation.
from my home to yours …
