Dinner was all-American tonight! Ruth and Sara made us hamburgers, potato salad, and chips, and we had yummy cookies for dessert. We'd already prayed for our country in church, which was a great way to start Independence Day. Standing around our all-American meal, I said we needed to sing, so we sang 'My Country Tis of Thee' (which is the same tune as God Save the Queen, so that got us a few odd looks at first in this former British colony) and then sang and very rousing chorus of 'Star Spangled Banner' with firework sound effects and a roaring, "Play ball!" at the end. Gotta love happy, blessed Americans!
Lord, turn the hearts in our nation back to You, the way our founding fathers intended.
