After a wonderful weather week last week (low 80s with sun and a breeze), we were disappointed by a rainy July 4th! We went to a friend’s house (the Longstreets) for a great cookout with TONS of food and fellowship, but we had to spend the time inside. We didn't get to see fireworks this year, but on the way home God gave us His own light show! We were blessed with a GORGEOUS sunset! The sky was filled with yellow, red, orange, purple, pink, etc! We were amazed at the handiwork of our Creator and kept telling the girls how awesome our God is! Grace and I were marvelling at the "painting" that God did -- nothing like we can do at home! I WISH I HAD MY CAMERA, but Grace and I took pictures in our minds! :)
In the middle of this praise session (Joshua 24 -- talking about God in our home, in the car, on the way, in everyday activities), we also saw a beautiful rainbow! WHAT A NIGHT -- God was and is EVERYWHERE! We could still see it when we got home, so I snapped this picture -- hardly does it justice, though! 
Danny had made a point earlier in the week to get sparklers to do as a family – once Hannah was asleep – so we pulled them out after we got home late from the Longstreets’. Grace loved holding on to them and watching them glow! It was nothing compared to the light show that God gave us, though! She was amazed at how they looked like snowflakes, fire, stars and various other things. I love how small things make her so excited. We can (and do) make small things into a great adventure! I love how her eyes light up and she gets the “Danny grin” – the little smirk instead of the HUGE smile that she wants to show but doesn’t want anyone to know how excited she is. J
The sparklers were fun, but we will stick to only doing them once a year. God gives the best light show anyway!
Happy birthday, America!
