When I see this verse, other than thinking about God sending Jesus to die on the cross, I can’t help to think about another group of people who have put and continue to put their lives on the line for us. That is the men and women who serve in the U.S. Armed Forces. Because of those who have served and are serving, We have freedoms that a lot of others do not have.
John 15:13
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
So in honor of Veteran’s Day, I thought I would share a few freedoms that I am thankful for.
1051. the freedom to worship how I believe.
1052. the freedom to attend a church.
1053. the freedom to stay at home with my children and homeschool them.
1054. the freedom to have a gun.
1055. freedom of speech.
1056. I am thankful for my Uncle who served in WWII. He lost his life while he was in the Army. He was only 22.
1057. I am thankful for my great grandpa who was the youngest to serve in the Civil War in the state of Florida.
1058. I am thankful for my father-in-law who served in the Air Force in Vietnam.
1059. I am thankful for my step-father-in-law who served in the Air Force in Vietnam.
1060. I am thankful for the many more who served, are serving now and their families who sacrifice so much for us.
I would love for you to join in counting the many blessings that God gives. Stop by A Holy Experience and visit others who are also sharing their many blessings.
