Freedom always comes with a cost.  This fourth of July take time to remember what it cost to give us the freedom we have.  Read a copy of the Declaration of Independence together as a family.  Look up the history of those that signed it and what it cost them. Many lost their lives, families and everything they owned.  Thank God for the sacrifices others have made to give us our freedom.

As we celebrate fathers across our nation, take time to evaluate yourself. If you have children, what areas do you need to work on? Are you giving your children your most valuable asset, T-I-M-E?  Are you leading them to the heavenly Father? What type of example are you setting? Encourage yourself with a couple of things you are doing well, then find 2-3 things you need to improve on as a father, and focus on them for the next 21 days.  Happy Father's Day!!

Take your wife shopping for summer. Don't forget to set an amount up front so you don't blow the budget.  If your wife likes deals, head to discount or thrift stores.  For an added bonus, have a fashion show when you get home.

Stop by one of your favorite eating establishments and bring home dinner for the whole family.  Get the children fed and occupied. Find the perfect spot to set up a romantic candlelight dinner for you and your bride.  Play some mood music, set aside all the electronics, and forget about the rest of the world to focus on each other.

Help out with the laundry this week or just take over and do it all. If you don't have much experience, you may want some assistance in sorting, what cycle to wash on, and what items need to be air dried. Don't forget to fold and put it all away after you are done.

Grab a basket and fill it with your favorite foods, be sure to add some grapes and some cheese. Include a candle, music and take your sweetheart out for a romantic meal in the great outdoors.

Take your bride by the hand and stroll down the street.  Spend time talking and enjoying each other's company.  Discuss some things you would like to do this summer together.
