Blessed To Be Free

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

As I one on a flight one day the flight attendant seeing there was an empty seat in first class moved a soldier up to the front. Those serving our country are humble and do it expecting nothing in return.

As I watched this occur I was thinking of all the freedoms we Americans enjoy because of the selfless sacrifice of men and women past, present, and future just like this young officer. America is unique and what we have is special that is why so many emigrated here years ago and still want to.

Freedom is always in jeopardy depending who you and I elect to govern this democracy. Many politicians who get elected may cut funds for these brave men and women and defund programs critical to national security. Elections have consequences and in America’s case it is keeping us free from tyranny, socialism, and communism and securing freedom of religion. When you get a chance thank a vet and those serving now. Freedom truly is not free!

PRAYER: America America God has shed His grace on thee. I am thankful to have been born here. Many are not. I pray for those serving for safety and for those leading to do the right thing. Root out those in public office who somehow got elected but don’t put America first.  In Jesus’ name. Amen.
