Fourth of July is a big day and it will make for a big weekend of being with friends and family. My mom & dad are coming up tonight and will be with us this 4th of July weekend. Tomorrow (Saturday), we will head over to the Springdale Rodeo Parade where me and Ashlyn will ride down Emma St with the Top Hands Riding Club. This is the riding club we are members of. It is made up of a great group of people who enjoy horses, fun and God's creation. After we ride in the parade, we'll head over to my sister's house and spend the afternoon visiting and eating homemade ice-cream. She lives in Springdale and they will be coming to our house on Sunday to grill out and enjoy our freedom.
This is a big weekend for our families and friends because of one reason...FREEDOM. Because of the freedom we have in this country, we can enjoy our family and friends. We can enjoy doing what we want and when we want to do it. Just last evening I was reminded of those who have given so I can live in freedom. I was in Hobby Lobby picking up something for the church when a young man, who looked to be about 25 yrs old, begin sharing that he had been given a medical discharge from the Army. He was serving in Baghdad when his vehicle was hit by an IED (improvised explosive device). He shared that two of the men he was with was killed and he had lost 90% of his hearing in his left year and had major damage to his vertebrates in his back. I stood there thinking how proud I was to live in America. I am grateful for young men and women like Josh who are willing to fight for our freedom.
Freedom....think about it. I'm proud to be an American and I'm thankful for those who fight for my freedom. God Bless the USA!
