May the glory of Independence Day Remain in mind in heart May we cherish our hard-won freedom That it never falls apart. Because those who walked before us Believed in freedom’s cause so much We can carry forth a torch Of honor and ‘In God We Trust’. That first Independence Day More than two centuries past Must live forever in our thoughts Never forgotten - never a lapse. It is a precious land we hold In safekeeping for our children That they, as we, may enjoy Lives bountiful, worth living. May God’s blessings ever Ring out Over all our land A toast of praise we raise today Americans - join hand in hand! (Susan Helene Kramer)

Father in Heaven, Thank You for this Glorious Day! We Love You and Thank You for Our American Heroes! And For Our Beloved Country! We are reminded of those who have sacrificed, Following the example of your Son, Jesus Christ. Let us not take such freedom for granted. We Honor them today and pray for their place in Your Heart for them. Bless Them Lord in all their ways. In Jesus’ Beautiful Name, Amen

"It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more."

-John Adams, July 3rd, 1776

As we celebrate our Independence, let’s remember, That all we have in our lives, Is because of those who came before us, Who fought and died That we may live in FREEDOM!

One Nation UNDER GOD!!

Join Me in Prayer and Praise For Our American Heroes!

A New Day
July 2, 2012

In a morning meeting I recently attended, the person who opened the gathering began by praying, “Lord, thanks for today. It is the beginning of a new day we have never seen before.” Although the idea seemed obvious, that prayer got me thinking about a couple of different things. First, because each day is a new opportunity, it will be filled with things we cannot anticipate or even prepare for. Therefore, it’s important that we recognize our limitations and lean heavily on God—intentionally choosing to live in His grace and strength rather than relying on our own resources.

The second thing that occurred to me is that the newness of each day is a gift worth celebrating. Perhaps this concept was what prompted the psalmist to declare, “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Ps. 118:24).

Of course, we face many unknowns today—and some could be difficult. But the treasure of each brand-new day is so special that Moses was led to write, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (90:12). Every new day is a precious gift. May we thankfully embrace each one with confident trust and humble celebration.

He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best—
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest. —Berg

Each new day gives us new reasons to praise the Lord.

Read: Psalm 118:19-29

This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. —Psalm 118:24
