Today, we read parts of the Declaration of Independence to the girls and talked about our country's freedoms.
Happy Independence Day!

Just discovered you through Jo-Lynne - hugs and prayers for your trip.
I look forward to following your progress.
Take care, and God Bless (and Happy 4th July!)
Great! Thanks for leaving a comment and saying, "hello."
We are slowly reading through an awesome coffee-tableish book I found at Border's for $2.99 called "America the Making of a Nation" we started it on the 4th and the kids and I are enjoying reading about the beginnings and history of our nation. I too am thankful for the Freedoms we enjoy in this country.
Our family spent 2011 traveling the USA in an RV, striving to intentionally "give every day" for the glory of God. We interviewed CEOs of nonprofits and served alongside over 40 organizations and churches.
Our Pledge
We hereby pledge:
- To spend intimate, quantity time with our family. - To actively help the poor, the sick, the lonely, and the helpless. - To value, protect, and advocate for children. - To de-emphasize the importance of “stuff” in our lives. - To bring publicity to good causes and good people. - To live with intentionality, as if this year was our very last. - To observe the needs in our country/community – and then do something about them. - To give – every day.
