America the beautiful


I watch the news every morning with Logan while we are getting him ready for school. Often there are stories showing fighting or bombings in some foreign country. I often explain to Logan how lucky we are to be living in America, and I explain some of the freedoms we have that many in other countries don't. I also explain the safety we enjoy in our country. Today while I was driving by myself (very rarely am I in the car without my children) I was at a stop light next to a Macey's grocery store. For those of you not in Utah, one of their trademarks is to fly a HUGE American flag in front of their store. The wind was blowing in such a way that the flag was waving perfectly! I had a quiet moment of gratitude for all that I have and all the freedoms I enjoy. I am so lucky to have been born in the United States.
