Happy Independence Day

So, here it is a day before the 4th of July and a company I do business with made a montage for the 4th of July and sent it out. I am listening to the age old song "God bless the USA" also called "Proud to be an American" crying my eyes out. Mark it down for pregnancy harmones but there is so much I am thinking right now - that's why I am writing becuase my heart is overflowing and I need to let it all out.

First, there are so many many things that I am thankful for. God I thank you for my children. Even when they act like me and it gets on my nerves. Thank you that they are free! Thank you for my husband that loves someone else more than me - and that the someone is you. So many women don't have the peaceful home that I have. Thank you so very much. I know that my flesh doesn't deserve any of this but becuase you love me you gave it all to me. Thank you! Thank you for my extended family both physical and spiritual. So many times in my life I couldn't get through today without their help. Thank you that I have ears to hear the sounds around me and sight to see your many glories. Thank you for my tomorrows and my yesterdays.

Lord, my heart goes out to the families of the men and women who are defending this country right now. Warm their hearts with the love and peace only you can give. Thank you for the many sons and daughters that are overseas for a country that can't even agree on if they should be there or not. Lord, for those men and women that are serving right now - I pray you will cover them with such love and peace they know that it came directly from heaven above.

You want it is like to give a son to ungrateful people. Let an ungrateful America see that men and women are serving right now and losing their lives that they are serving for even them.
