July 4 - 60/60 Challenge

Today we celebrate Independence Day. Talked with the family this morning at breakfast about what exactly that means for us today and what it involved for people in the past. Thinking of all that has been suffered and sacrificed for our nation's independence and freedom. Yet there is something greater . . . the chance Christ gave us to experience freedom here on Earth and eternal life with Him. For as much as we WANT independence in this life, we NEED dependence on Him. I am reminded once again this week that He knows so much better than I can and He wants what is ultimately the best for me. ~ Stephanie
