Today - Another Fourth???

July Fourth is the date the final draft of the Declaration of Independence was approved, but it wasn't the day it was written or the day John Adams thought would be celebrated. He actually wrote to his wife saying the second would be "the great anniversary Festival."

Our Independence and freedoms are so important why don't we celebrate both days. Smile today at fellow Americans, wave to children playing in the sun, and send a prayer of thanks and peace to God for our soldiers and ancestors. There are many reasons to celebrate - and hey, there's always a reason for more home made ice cream, strawberry shortcake, apple pie, or whatever dish you want! :)

Happy Second of July!
