Just under 80 relatives gathered for our annual Independence Day celebration at the lake cottage. A small, but cosy group!
For the first time in a decade, I ate everything from the potluck tables! All I still avoided was anything overtly made with gluten. It's hard to believe I could get back to this point!
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow! I know it's not Thanksgiving Day, but gratitude is always in season,and right now I am thanking God for...
Family and Relatives with a shared godly heritage
Good memories brought back as rain drove us into the old living room... and the ability to once again enjoy the building I had to avoid most of the past decade due to sensitivities
A widening range of flavors to enjoy
...And a nation which was founded by brave and often God-fearing men.
"The world seems to me an immense battle-place, where wrong and right have been struggling; always struggling. And sometimes the wrong seems to cover the whole earth, like a flood, and there is nothing but confusion and horror; and then sometimes the floods part and one sees a little bit of firm ground, where grass and flowers might grow, if they had a chance. And in those spots there is generally some great, grand man, who has fought back the flood of wrong and made a clearing."
