There's something about the Fourth of July that I love. It's a holiday that requires so little of me to make it feel like a celebration. This year we aren't doing anything special at all except grilling some burgers for dinner and putting out our flag. Even so, it feels special. And it should.
We have so much to be thankful for as citizens of this country. You've heard it all before so I won't bother going there again. But it would be nice if, in the midst of all our activities and celebrations today, we stop for just one moment to remember how fortunate we are. And maybe even say a prayer of thanks!
"From the mountains,
to the prairies,
to the oceans
white with foam.
God, bless America,
my home, sweet home."
