Here are some wonderful resources I found to help celebrate our freedom today:

1. Prayers of thanks for our spiritual and physical freedoms from an article by Mary Fairchild.
2. Recipes for delicious homeade 4th of July desserts.
3. Fun and inexpensive group games for 4th of July get-togethers are detailed in this Ezine article by Geri Chase.
4. Learn about signers of the Declaration of Independence from this article and referenced excerpt Barbara Curtis has on her blog.  The  excerpt is from an oral presentation made by Rush Limbaugh’s father on numerous occasions.  As Barbara mentions, you can read the entire version on Rush Limbaugh’s site.
5. Myriads of 4th of July activities, crafts, and educational information for families with school-aged children can be found through links from this HomeHearts.com article.

Let’s enjoy, give thanks, and have a happy Independence Day!
