Freedom


Yesterday we celebrated, as Americans, being Free.

We are an independent Nation, holding true to the basis that we are indeed 'free'.


At Church this morning the Pastor was taking about our freedom in Christ.

Have I forgotten that this is the purest and truest form of freedom? It was won thousands of years ago, and counted on many before that. I sat in wonder that I have been free all along, all who come to the Father through Jesus have been set free. "He who the Son sets free, is free INDEED".

Let me remember this, that I am trusting and believing in the One who said "I am the way and the truth and the life, No one comes to the Father except through me".

Freedom is being offered thru the Son, and also life.


I want to never forget that the truest form of freedom happened many many years ago, before the declaration of Independence was even a thought. This freedom has rewards more abundant than free speech.

I will be grateful for the freedom of our country and I am proud to be an American, but I am living proud to wear the badge of Christ and I will be eternally thankful for His offering.
