Today is the 4th of July. I (somewhat) explained in French to some people today what this day means to Americans & how we would celebrate.
In Bere, Chad we didn't barbecue or watch fireworks but we did gather together with a nice potluck meal complete with homemade ice cream, red, white, & streamers, and cake. We also celebrated a 3yr birthday for our good little friend Zane. So we celebrated the birth of a nation & the birth of a boy.
It made me think of the founders of our country: the rich and the poor who risked everything for the greater good. They abandoned comfort and security
for the dream of better things to come.
Personal sacrifice & the belief that change can occur & things will get better if we work together... It was true then in America & it's true today across the globe. Have fun today with friends & family. God bless America and each of us.
