Happy 4th of July

Yesterday was wonderful day, full of family, food, fun, and fireworks. I am truly grateful for all the freedoms we enjoy as citizens of this great nation and am forever indebted to the men and women who work so diligently and fought for those freedoms and privileges. Today at church we sang the Star Spangled Banner for our closing hymn and both Brett and I got choked up while singing it. Cameron, Brett's brother is in Afghanistan serving our country and we pray for his safety and quick return daily. The reality of Cameron being there hit home quite hard with us both and we had to take a few minutes to get ourselves together before Sunday School. I was playing the piano in primary and stayed to listen to sharing time, which was about the First Vision. I love listening to how kids perceive Joseph's experience and how willingly they accept it to be true. They know our Heavenly Father loves to help us and will answer our prayers, such a simple truth that so many in this world don't understand. I am thankful to have the restored gospel in my life and to be able to freely worship.The church always comes out with such beautiful commercials, enjoy this one and be grateful for your freedoms.................its not uploading, so go to lds.org and scroll down to the video
