Don't cook hot dogs without explaining that the pioneers didn't always have food to eat. Explain how they sacrificed and went without in order to settle this country.Don't wave flags without discussing the Revolution and why the Pilgrims fought for the freedom of worship and the freedom to decide their own destiny. Explain why they felt it was important to not be taxed by a King who knew nothing of their pain or their lives.
Don't eat ice cream without talking about the many men who gave their lives to make sure we are free. Be sure they understand the price millions of men paid in WWII to keep Hitler from invading our country.
Don't watch fireworks without promising your child that you will work and fight to keep the freedoms alive for them. Shake their little hand and make a promise to each other that you and your child will protect the America we all love.
Now that's sharing the 4th with your child!
Seeking His Wisdom,
Debbie
