Happy Birthday America! Hooray for the Red, White and Blue! This week, America celebrated our freedom as Americans. We can thank God for the freedoms we enjoy because of men and women who gave their lives to make America a great nation where we can enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The colors on the flag represent bravery, honor and valor. For the Christian, the red reminds us of the blood of Jesus that was shed so that we can have life through Him. The White reminds us that though we were once full of sin, now we can be washed white as snow, and live a life of purity that shines as a bright light in a dark world. The Blue reminds us that we are children of the king, and that we have royal blood flowing through our veins. Not only do we have a home in heaven, but we can help others join God’s royal family while we are here on earth. That makes you someone who changes history. So as we celebrate this historical time, I want to encourage you to be a history maker! Build on the great history of our country, and our faith, and let’s build a great tomorrow filled with life and liberty!
