A JOYful 4th of July!!!



Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Come on, let’s celebrate!

            The 4th of July is here….good reason for celebration! Some of us are celebrating with family and friends! Others will celebrate quietly by staying home. But all of us should remember to celebrate! We are so blessed to live in the grand ole USA!  Though we often complain about the direction our country is headed, we still have so much for which to be thankful.  There are many freedoms that we enjoy in America that others across the world can only dream of!  And those freedoms don’t come without a price!  

            Let’s be reminded today to say a special prayer for all the soldiers who willingly have put their lives in harm’s way because of their love for our country.  Let’s pray for their families who bravely press on as their father, mother, husband, wife or other family member is away from home, protecting our country.  Our freedom is a treasure and we don’t want to take it for granted. 

            Let’s also pray for the leadership of our country...asking God to intervene and help our leaders to make wise decisions.  2 Chronicles 7:14 tells us clearly why we should pray:

            “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

            Join me in celebration of our country and our freedom; may we remember to pray diligently for God’s blessings and for God to rain down HIS JOY onto us.
