Happy 4th of July!!
It was a quiet, rainy day in our part of the world. One of the most relaxed and quiet Independence Days I've every experienced. The kids and I made an American flag today out of construction paper. I discovered Eden already knows the Pledge of Allegiance...how did this happen without me being aware of it?!?! And we danced around the living room to some fun music.
We're living in a land where people lack many of the every day freedoms that we enjoy as Americans.
We're incredibly thankful to our fore father's for this gift and their sacrifice.
Above all we're grateful for a Heavenly Father that has provided us Freedom. Freedom in Christ, for it is by his death we have been set free!
In honor of America's Independence day...we're giving away a book! It's written by a friend who, like us, is living in that limbo state of being a "free" American, living in a communist country. It's called, "Redefining Home: Squatty Potties, Split Pants, and Other Things that Divide My World."
It's available on kindle and paperback version.
I couldn't put it down once I started because I identify so much with every chapter of this book.
If you love hilarious stories, this book is for you!
If you want more insight into our life over here, this book is for you!
If you want to hear heartfelt stories of daily struggles, this book is for you!
So if you want a chance to win a copy of her book, leave a comment below. We'll toss all the names into a drawing and announce the winner on Monday, July 9th!
Happy Fourth of July!!
