Independence Day: Let There Be Fireworks
July 4, 2009 by Lillie
O ETERNAL God, through whose mighty power our fathers won their liberties of old; Grant, we beseech thee, that we and all the people of this land may have grace to maintain these liberties in righteousness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Happy Independence Day, Lillie! I loved the prayer and the presentation. They were perfect. Blessings to you.

Ohh !! I’m absolutely sorry for not wishing you on 4th of July.
How could I forget it..
Better late than never, ‘Wish you a Happy Independence Day’.
How was your day?
I saw all those fireworks on TV that happened in Washington DC, Chicago and New York.
Do you see Tennis? The two American Girls gifted the most prestigious Slam trophy to America on its day.
Yet I was so disappointed to see Roddick loose to Federer Yesterday.

Sriraj,
Thank you for the good wishes. If you had remembered on July 4th, I wouldn’t have gotten the wishes until today since I was on the farm visiting my sister over the weekend. So you were really right on time.
I ended up spending my 4th weekend on the farm too, ended up having a great time shooting off fireworks in the wilderness, having a BBQ, and bonfire. Really makes you grateful for what we have here in this great country.
Joseph,
Sounds like a great Fourth and a good reminder of how blessed we are in this country.
It is really an exceptional video and i am sure that many would have felt proud after seeing it. I wish to the Almighty that may you be Independent for the rest of your life and may he shower upon you his lovely blessings.
Harry,
I’m glad you liked the video as I did. Thank you for the good wishes.
Lillie,
I certainly hope that you and your fellow countrymen had a thoroughly enjoyable day.
God has blessed your nation in many, many, ways, and your people certainly have a great deal to be thankful and grateful for.

Andrew,
You are so right that God has richly blessed this country. Sometimes it seems that many of us do not realize just how blessed we are.
Amen. And may the grace and blessing last the entire year.
Thank you, Lori.
Thank you for that inspiration about God and our country! I appreciate that prayer. Happy Fourth of July!
C,
Glad you liked the video and prayer and hope you had a great 4th.
A belated happy 4th of July.
Among the various holiday traditions in the USA, fireworks on the 4th has always been among my favorites.

Fireworks on the Fourth is a great tradition.
I had a great 4th of July!!
I hope you did too! I just saw your post and was feeling patriotic so there you have it!!
have a good one.
Mike,
Yes, I had a great Fourth. Glad you did too.
It’s amazing how ignorant many of us are (myself somewhat included) as to the history behind a lot of our major holidays. The majority of our Founding Fathers were men of faith, men who believed in Jesus, men who envisioned a nation that would have God as Lord. How far we have drifted from that ideal in just 200 short years.

Phil,
You are so right. Unfortunately, I think we’re drifting away faster than ever. It seems that many people think we should be a nation with freedom FROM religion rather than freedom OF religion.
Lillie, I bet you’ve a great time with your family and friends, isn’t it?

Sounds like a wonderful memory of what must have been a memorable trip.
I saw the fireworks in Chicago both on July 3rd (9 pm)and July 4th (8:45 pm). A lot less fireworks overall throughout the weekend than previous years but still impressive. They are getting better every year!

Fireworks are great on the Fourth of July, but the freedom we are celebrating is even greater.
Wonderful prayer, thank you.
