Freedom is Never Free

We are about to enter memorial day weekend. As I ponder the freedom that this great nation has provided I can’t help but remember the price that was paid by others in order for us to experience that freedom. I can’t help but silently pray, giving thanks to God Almighty because freedom is never free.

From our founding fathers who provided freedom from the tyranny of foreign rule to our revolutionary brothers who insured that all men would be free.

Freedom is never free.

From our grandfathers, fathers and those who fought to keep us free from the threat of fascism and communism to our brothers, sons and daughters who have fought and are still fighting to keep us safe and free from the fear of terrorism.

Freedom is never free.

For all who have sacrifice their freedom through loss of limb and injury I give honor and thanks.

Freedom is never free.

For all who have paid the ultimate sacrifice of death for the freedom of others I give honor and thanks.

Freedom is never free.

But the thing for which I am most grateful is spiritual freedom provided when the Son of God died in my place.

Freedom is never free.

As we go about a weekend and enjoy our family, our friends and our neighbors let us always remember!

Freedom is never free!

God Bless America!

Amen.
