Enjoy today with your families. Celebrate your freedom and teach your children why we have it. Start a tradition. Live a tradition. Be proud to be an American. God bless America.
What a wonderful time of year this is. It helps us to remember how blessed we are to have been born in this country. I am grateful for all the soldiers that are fighting for our freedom. They will be truly blessed for their efforts. It makes me cry every time I see soldiers leaving their families or coming home. I will never be able to comprehend this sacrifice. Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July and remember the soldiers in our prayers. *AMERICA* LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!
I love that saying "....BECAUSE of the brave." Isn't that so true. It definately makes us realize the amazing sacrifice when you do see and think about the soldiers and their families. I honestly don't know how they do it. I am so thankful that they do though. Thank you to our local 222.
The 4th is one of my favorite holidays as well. We have such a strong family tradition on that day. This one was especially wonderful because Travis got to be here with us. Yes, we are free because of the brave. God bless them and those they love who are apart from each other for so long. Sacrifice for sure.
Read and comment and be uplifted and uplift. It's up to you to help us help mothers. Look for new posts and be sure to comment (anonymously if you want) and read the comments from others. It is often that the best advice and help comes not from a doctor or professional, but from a mother, especially a mother who has walked in your shoes before, a mother who can truly relate and understand how you are feeling. What better way to get your feelings out, to get a little help and walk a few steps down the pathway of life with another mother, an ordinary mother, just like me and you.
I am a mother, an ordinary mother. Sometimes I find myself feeling that there is something wrong with that, and that I need to be something more. Of course, I'll continue being a mother, but I want to be something else as well. Something amazing, inspiring, incredible and worth talking about. Sometimes I find myself putting undue amounts of time into thinking about being something besides ordinary. As I do this though, I am always impressed again and again that being an ordinary mother is the most amazing thing I could do, and if I put all I have into being that mother, that ordinary mother, then indeed I am something more, something amazing, inspiring, incredible and worth talking about. Not only is it beautiful and okay to be an ordinary mother, it is imperitive. This highest honor is a noble calling and upon fullfilling it, the ordinary mother is truely extraordinary indeed.
