Freedom

I love Independence Day!

I enjoy gathering with family and friends...

 for cookouts, food and water fights

I especially enjoy the FIREWORKS!

I am incredibly thankful for my freedom as an American!

I am thankful for all the brave ones who have served...

many of them shedding their blood and giving their life

so that I can enjoy sweet American freedom!

I am also incredibly thankful for the freedom I have in Christ!

I am thankful for the One who came to serve...

to shed His blood and give His life

as a ransom for mine

so that I can enjoy TRUE freedom!

He is rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom

with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.

Ephesians 1:7

And you will know the truth,

and the truth will set you free."

John 8:32

So Christ has truly set us free!

Galatians 5:1
