As I think about Independence Day coming up on July 4th, I am reminded of what a blessed nation we are. Here are three blessings we should celebrate because of the free country we live in.
FREE TO READ WHAT WE PLEASE: Here in America, we have the freedom to read what we please. In many places, people are oppressed, and not allowed that freedom.
FREE ACCESS TO BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY: In my opinion, the public library system is one of the best uses of taxpayer dollars. Not only can we read whatever we want, we can borrow a copy of that book for free from the library! Now that most individual libraries are linked to a larger system through their network, you can usually get whatever book you are looking for. What a country!
FREEDOM TO LEARN: Education in America is compulsory, whether you go to public school, private school, or home school, but did you ever think about what a privilege it is? I know that no school is perfect, and many schools have a long way to go when it comes to dyslexia. Some kids are falling through the cracks. However, we can still be thankful for the freedom to go to school and access to free education.
As you celebrate our nation's independence this week, take some time to think about the freedoms we enjoy. Happy 4th of July!
