My favorite holiday is here. Yes, the 4th of July. I absolutely LOVE it. I love the patriotism, the fireworks, the celebrations, the family get-togethers and our house, brunch. This year, we are going out for breakfast - to a church flag raising and pancakes. We're going to spend the day at the beach, and do some fireworks here at home. I can't wait.In the spirit of the holiday, here are two verses from a beautiful song:
"O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine.
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea."
I hope you all have a great 4th. Be safe, and have fun. And to all the veterans that we owe for our freedoms, thank you.
