A Patriotic Porch

Every year I have a problem committing to one color pallet for my summer decorating. Sometimes I mix it up. Sometimes I do hanging baskets full of petunias or mixed flowers but it takes a lot of dead-heading all summer which I am not very diligent about. This year I opted for ferns.

Feeling patriotic...maybe as a reaction to the all the stuff going on in our country, I decided the front porch would be red, white and blue; I'm a military brat, after all. Firstly, I am child of God and he has blessed me greatly by setting my boundaries in this nation. Is it perfect? No, this side of heaven no country will be nor was it ever meant to be. I have studied history with my girls these past 14 years I am convinced that there is no other cure for the evil in men's hearts than the gospel of Jesus Christ. This country, albeit imperfect, is my temporary home and I praise the Lord for it. Happy 4th!
