Enjoy your Freedom and Independence

Today is July 4th, and it is Independence Day in America!! Throughout the Unites States of America, families, friends, embraced the warm weather and gathered in the spirit of brotherhood to enjoy this day. Fireworks, grilled burgers, cooled water, smoothies, the sound of laughter of children and adults could be heard everywhere today. The United States is celebrating 244 years of freedom from England. America still is a beacon of hope for the oppressed, “One Nation under God, indivisible with Liberty and Justice for all.” History teaches us that America gained her Independence through trials, tribulations, bravery, resilience and a mighty helpful hand from the Almighty.

It will be a good exercise to take a minute to ask ourselves, how are we using the Freedom and Independence in our lives for a good and a greater cause? In the spirit of Independence, everyday should be a day of thankfulness to the Almighty for the opportunity to exist and built a better future for the Nation and future generations.

Likewise, I hope you use your freedom to create a life that will one day better your family, your society and your world.
