Celebrating the 4th of July in Africa was a whole new experience. It was a business as usual day. Just to make sure we took a few minutes to think about the blessings we have, we told Melkiory about Independence Day, and then took a few patriotic pictures. He was really proud to have USA socks that he had just purchased. Hence, the sock/flag picture. 
To me, the picture represents United States of America, hard work, and freedom! The picture with us holding the flag represents the love that we have for each other and our country. 
The picture of Melkiory represents his lifelong dream of being able to go to America. 
Do we appreciate the blessings that we have living in a free and wonderful place like AMERICA?
