Today is the celebration of the declaration of our independence! \u00a0That liberty has been fought and paid for with countless lives over more than two centuries. \u00a0Every Memorial Day and 4th of July I go down and take out my copy of the the film, Saving Private Ryan. \u00a0I watch the last chapter and weep for how blessed we are as a nation to have had such a great price laid at the alter of freedom. \u00a0Celebrate your freedom today and thank those that have preserved it for you! \u00a0The link to that scene on You Tube is below, God Bless America!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Omitted from this scene is the line spoken by the elder Private Ryan when he ays,\u00a0“Tell me I have lived a life worthy of this sacrifice!” \u00a0May we all ask ourselves that today, are we worthy of the sacrifice laid down for us? \u00a0Commit to be, for God and Country. \u00a0Happy 4th of July!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We will never be worthy of Christ’s sacrifice, thankfully He has only asked us to accept it!<\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
