Freedom

I am learning to appreciate the price of freedom more and more.

The price fighting men pay.  The price of leaving their beautiful wife and sweet children behind to live the long days out, without the leading of their father.

The price of trading a country of free will and comfortable living to stay in a land consumed with unknowns, fear, and enemies.

The price of daily risking their very lives to preserve the freedoms we take for granted.

I am thankful for their willingness to serve our country.

So our family celebrates our freedom and honors those who fight for us.











 We are also grateful to the Creator of freedom, our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Without Him we would never know true freedom, our bondage to sin would be fatal, and the slavery to ourselves would be our end.

Thank you Lord, for freeing us from sin and self, thank you for paying the ultimate price of Your life, so that we may live in the freedom of knowing You.
