I am posting this later on in the week because I took a bit of a holiday on Monday and Tuesday. We celebrated Memorial Day with my in-laws and remembered those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. It is something that we need to do every so often to realize that our freedom was costly. Freedom is not free.
It also cost the life of the greatest human to walk this earth in order for us to have freedom from sin and a right relationship with God. And this is something we need to celebrate and remember daily. Jesus laid down his life to free us from bondage. Freedom is not free.
