Sure, I love the BBQ's and some of the funnest memories I have are of all of our friends getting together at the park to play sand volleyball. Then came the fireworks. I love the fireworks. But that was not why I loved 4th of July....
I loved the 4th of July because my birthday is 8 days after it. That is 1 week and 1 day in case you didn't know. The 4th of July would arrive and there was always this big celebration and I knew we were just getting warmed up to celebrate my birthday a few days later. :-)
Then I started to get older and I still loved the 4th but didn't love the birthday part so much. Then I got cancer and now I love the birthday part again too. But I will talk about that more later.
Anyway, now you know my secret shame. Nothing like announcing it to the world. Good thing my birthday was not actually on the 4th. I would have thought the entire nation was celebrating me. God definitely knew what He was doing there.
I pray you all have a very blessed holiday filled with family and friends - oh and good food too! That is always a bonus. As for us, we will be sitting by a lake somewhere in the Colorado mountains. Since there will be no fireworks this year that seemed like an acceptable alternative.
Blessings,
Andrea
