Freedom Tastes So Sweet

By Kaylen on July 11, 2008

Freedom
We didn’t just celebrate the Fourth of July this year, we celebrated it.

Complete with sparklers, too much good food, ice cream, and rousing choruses of our national anthem, it couldn’t have been more perfect.

The mission teams, Outreach Staffers, interns, and staff were all treated to cheeseburgers and ice cream on the Fourth, and we filled out a local restaurant. Everyone else in the restaurant seemed to enjoy our glee and one little girl had the privilege of having Happy Birthday sung to her not just by the restaurant staff, but by the entirety of Thrive.

All in all, the evening was brilliant; everyone seemed heady with freedom, even though we weren’t on the free soil we were celebrating.
