It is our first Fourth of July in America in over 6 years. Last night the husband and I enjoyed watching fireworks in a suburb over from our window. Today we are heading to a cookout where they will serve lentil sloppy joe sandwiches (Boulder cook outs are a bit more healthy than what we are used to in the south) and check out some fireworks at Waneka lake. Our new neighborhood does a bike parade for kids and a family camp out in the green space in the middle of the neighborhood so we will have to prepare for that for next year when we are in the new house. I continue to be amazed by the beauty of this place. Last night we drove to a trail by a creek after dinner to let the kids run and play. Except for the mosquitos it was beautiful. Our goal is to take a walk after dinner at least four nights a week. There are over 200 trails in the Boulder area alone, one of which will be right in our backyard, so after dinner walks should be easy to access. As I think about the freedom that is offered to us in America, I'm reminded of a greater freedom I have in Christ and long for the day when we are united with Him forever.
