An Independence Day Prayer

July 4, 2008 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Family Fun, Gratitude, Minnesota Me, Special Events 11 Comments

Thank you, God, for Your good gifts.

For our freedom;

for this great land;

for a life of plenty;

and for our families.

May You continue to bless us today and always.

May we neither squander our freedom nor abuse it.

May we live in the moment and rejoice in the day.

Thank you, Father, for the USA.

Happy 4th of July from our home
to yours!

With love & blessings,

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
