Honoring Independence Day
What is it about America’s Independence Day that makes this holiday so sacred and significant to each of us? Is it the parades, fireworks, festivities, or commemorations? Is it the remembrance of honorable founding fathers who had the courage to stand up for and even fight for liberty? Or is it the appreciation of the countless thousands who have sacrificed and given their lives to preserve the very liberty and freedoms this country was founded on and still enjoys?
Certainly it is all of these and more. However, perhaps even more important than anything mentioned above, what makes this holiday so loved and appreciated, anticipated and planned for, sacred and significant to us all is the simple fact that July 4th serves as a day to remember, appreciate, and surround ourselves with what and who is most important in life – family!
We all know that the ‘parades’ and ‘fireworks’ of life are only moments of effortless entertaining pleasure; but the joy, happiness, and success of a family is far more rewarding and yet is only achieved through sacrifice, hard work, persistence, getting up after temporary defeats, and most importantly, because of unselfishness – the very same qualities that our country was founded upon!
Until next time, celebrate this memorable day, whether it be honoring our Flag, visiting historical monuments, watching a parade, or enjoying family festivities remember to express gratitude and appreciation not only for those who serve our country but for all the friends and family that serve you, and continue to discover your full potential and live the life of your dreams!
Love & Light,
