Thank you Laurie, Women Taking A Stand, for hosting Thankful Thursday last month. In the hot summer months of July we will give thanks to our Lord here and then in August head over to Iris, Grace Alone.
On this second day of July I am thankful for my freedom.
I am free to worship Jesus.
I am free to do the right thing.
I am free to stand against evil.
I am free to take the difficult road.
And even if I were put into chains tomorrow, NO ONE can take these away from me.
I am a slave of Jesus Christ and yet, I AM FREE!
What are you thankful for this week?
Also, if you remember in May when I hosted Thankful Thursday, I offered a computer tip each week. Well this month, I think it would be fun to share some marriage quotes/thoughts and some humor. So, here is my marriage quote today that I shared on Twitter and Facebook today:
A good marriage is a union of two forgivers.
Have a blessed Thursday. Be blessed, Lynn

Yes, we have so many freedoms to be thankful for. Happy Independence Day.

I am very thankful for the freedoms that we have in our wonderful Country but what is most precious to me is the freedom that I have to live in Christ and be able to read my Bible out in the open, and pray without being punished. May God bless America!! -love you, Laurie
