What did freedom mean to George Washington?
What does freedom mean to you?
We recently celebrated Independence Day here in the United States.
Every July 4th is a special time when we commemorate and give thanks for the Founding Fathers and all those who sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy in this country.
George Washington himself credited God for the development of this free nation.
“Whereas it becomes us humbly to approach the throne of Almighty God, with gratitude and praise for the wonders which his goodness has wrought in conducting our fore-fathers to this western world…and above all, that he hath diffused the glorious light of the gospel, whereby, through the merits of our gracious Redeemer, we may become the heirs of his eternal glory.”
—Washington’s General Orders, November 27, 1779
I invite you to watch the following short video as you feel gratitude for your freedom.
