Happy Birthday, USA..!

It wasn’t always fireworks on the Fourth.

John Adams predicted Americans would celebrate the Second of July, the day Congress voted in favor of independence, “with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other.” He got the date wrong, but he was right about the festivities in commemoration of Independence Day. And yet July Fourth events have changed a great deal since 1776.

https://benfranklinsworld.com/episode-245-celebrating-the-fourth/

The United States celebrates its Independence Day on July 4.

John Adams, who later became America’s second president, wrote to his wife in 1776 that the day would be remembered with fireworks and celebrations “from one End of this Continent to the other.”

But the day he was talking about was July 2, 1776, not July 4. July 2 is the day the Continental Congress of the original 13 colonies voted for independence from Britain. Congress did not officially sign the Declaration of Independence, mainly written by Thomas Jefferson, until two days later.

First July 4 celebration

Pauline Maier was a historian who wrote the 1997 book American Scripture: Making the Declaration of Independence. She wrote that in early July of 1777, members of the Continental Congress nearly forgot that it had been a year since they declared their freedom from the British.

They remembered on July 3. It was too late to celebrate on July 2. So, they decided to mark the country’s independence with a celebration the following day: July 4.

The Pennsylvania Evening Post of Philadelphia reported, “Yesterday the 4th of July, being the anniversary of the Independence of the United States of America, was celebrated in this city with demonstrations of joy and festivity.”

At night, the Post said, “There was a grand exhibition of fireworks…and the city was beautifully illuminated.”

July 4, 22 Home

Have fun today. Today should be about fun and celebrating your country’s birthday. I destined it for greatness because of its Christian roots. The struggle for freedom from domineering countries. Now the struggle today is to keep the freedom gained by those who have fought so hard to gain freedom. My blessing has been with this great country. The evil within has made great efforts to destroy her. Pray for her and those who want to destroy her even now. Pray for those who fight to preserve the freedoms so dear.

Go now, for I am God.

I can see ME saying
Have fun today
.

Based on my reading of the Bible, I do not think that the God in the Bible would not say that; I see nothing that casual from God in the Old or New Testament.

Do you think Jesus cried when his earthly father Joseph died? Did Jesus spend 33 years on earth and never laugh?

Of course Jesus showed his HUMANITY. That is NOT the point; I do not think God would say, in the Bible, "Have fun today." Perhaps He talks to you in a more causal tone.

Maybe at a wedding. Weddings are fun events. He did perform His first miracle at Cana making wine.

And did Jesus say "have FUN?" did Jesus even mention FUN?

You are avoiding the point and keep going toward the wrong goal posts, HR. I think you are doing so on purpose.

I am going to have FUN elsewhere, HR.

John 2:1-11

The Wedding at Cana
2 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.[a] 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
