We are so grateful to celebrate our Freedom as American's this week and it started off with a wonderful Patriotic "God and Country Day" at our church this morning. As an annual tradition, the church celebrates God's blessing on America, celebrates the freedom we have as American's and as Christians, and celebrates the Christian Heritage that was foundational for our country.

I was thrilled to be able to also play a wonderful medley of songs celebrating America, which I've added into this weeks update (I hope you enjoy it and take a moment to reflect on the blessing of Freedom!).

After the morning service, we had a wonderful time doing some chores around the house, including feeding the animals, and playing together as we soak up this HOT Florida Summer weather!

Thanks for tuning in this week! I know we haven't been consistent lately as we have many things in play right now as we look forward to the future and obediently follow the Lord's leading in our home We'll share more about that soon!

We love you and hope you and your family have a SAFE and Happy Independence Day! We'll leave you with the words to a beautiful song that was sung at church this week I hope it stirs you as it stirred us!

Love,
Chad + Erin

"In New York Harbor, stands a lady,
With a torch raised to the sky;
And all who see her, know she stands for
Liberty for you and me.
I'm so proud to be called an American,
To be named with the brave and the free;
I will honor our flag
and our trust in God,
And the Statue of Liberty.
On lonely Golgotha, stood a cross,
With my Lord raised to the sky;
And all who kneel there, live forever
As all the saved can testify.
I'm so glad to be called a Christian!
To be named with the ransomed and whole;
As the statue liberates the citizen,
So the cross liberates the soul.
Oh the cross is my Statue of Liberty,
It was there that my soul was set free;
Unashamed I'll proclaim
that a rugged cross
Is my Statue of Liberty!"
