Family Delegate

It became a tradition. My husband's brother and family often joined us for the 4th of July. But if the whole family can't come, send a delegate. It's great to have my nephew here for the weekend. Bring on the barbecue events and games. Jump in the lake. Enjoy the fireworks.

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name. 1 Chronicles 29:11-13 ESV
