Fireworks and Freedom

Hey Everyone!

Hope your 4th of July was great...We were in the Forest Lake Parade. It was beyond CRAZY!!! We decided to give beach balls to everyone...they were definitely a HIT:0)

The Gordy Gang (that's us) enjoyed spectacular fireworks over Forest Lake~It was a grand day!!!

...but you know me...I can't help but think of the freedom we celebrate and the great cost of it. We are so thankful and grateful for the men and women who are serving our country as we speak, and for the generations previous who so greatly sacrificed...Words just don't seem adequate...may we never take our freedom for granted!

But even greater still is the sacrifice that took place on a hill called Calvary...where Jesus died for all mankind...Those who place their trust in Him and choose to live for Him...there is NO GREATER FREEDOM than being saved from ourselves.

The word of God says this:
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36

Celebrate the freedom we can have in Christ when He becomes our Savior!!!

Now, I must go and help the chillin's get into bed so that we can all be ready for a Wonderful Sunday at the Brook...
