Free!!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Gathering around the flag pole today for prayer, reminded me of the freedoms we are so blessed to have. I can't seem to get it out of my head. I looked up the word free and there were so many definitions...but this is the one I chose... 1. made, done, or given voluntarily or spontaneously. We as Americans have so many freedoms that we sometimes take them for grant it... I know I do! But think about that word for a moment! Free!!! When we look at history it just means so much! We are released from whatever bondage has in the past wrapped itself around us. Not only are we politically free but because of Jesus Christ we are spiritually free! Free to love one another, free to worship how we want, free to own businesses, free to read our bibles, free to congregate. We are free! No one or no thing should have us bound today. If someone feels bound or oppressed today, they can go before our Lord and He will set them free!! My prayer is that everyone embraces this word.....let it sink into our hearts and let us no longer sit back and let someone else try to keep us bound or take away the precious freedoms that are ours! Let it be our priority as former President Jimmy Carter stated.....peace, freedom, democracy, human rights, benevolent sharing, love, the easing of human suffering, .....freedom of religion,freedom of worship, we could go on and on! Be Blessed, because we are Free!


-- We will have an unchallenged, open, panoramic opportunity on a global scale to demonstrate the finest aspects of what we know in this country: peace, freedom, democracy, human rights, benevolent sharing, love, the easing of human suffering. Is that going to be our list of priorities or not?
