Happy Independence Day, guys! :)
Is our country perfect? Heck no.
Is our president perfect? Heck no.
But are we free from the clutches of Great Britain, finally allowed to make our own choices on what we say and what we believe without being hanged at a stake? Yes. Yes, we are. <3
And that is thanks to the millions of men and women who risked and gave up their lives in a mighty war so that we could one day be given this freedom. Remember the price of our liberty. Remember that the words we say, the choices we make, and the right to choose were all bought at a COST.
Today, choose to speak, shout, and sing in gratefulness for the voice we are now allowed to have. We have been BLESSED with that right, none of us in this generation have ever earned it.
Remember the blood that was spilt so that we could be free. <3
Also, listen to this theme song of an old show called "Liberty's Kids"! The show wasn't perfect, but the theme song is a great ballad of our freedom as Americans. :)
GOD BLESS AMERICA. And may we all bless each other, using our freedom- our right to choose and speak and believe- to encourage and uplift one another instead of tear each other down.
Use your freedom today to honor those who gave it to you.
To God be the glory!
