The ultimate price, the Ultimate Life, sacrificed for freedom. Love lied bleeding; rose victorious...leaving us free to be...
*******************************************************
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free... Galatians 5:1
#363 - 372
from the depths of my soul set free by Grace
in my spirit made alive by Love
in the laughter of a baby walking for the first time
in the heart of a child who no longer fears
in ringlets of curls covering the head
as we serve one another
when loving our neighbors as ourselves
as fruit of the Spirit fills the heart
as we keep in step with the Spirit
when I choose to yield to My Father

Donna, what a precious post you've given us to ponder. I know that all too often I go about my day without ever pondering exactly what the freedom I have in this country has cost others. Thank you for the gentle nudging.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting, Dianna. I must admit the trip to Virginia unleashed a deeper depth of "freedom thinking." Freedom comes at a price.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing story this man has. I would like to visit this place. It tells of freedom yet, it also tells of the determination to work hard and make the life you dream of. He didn't wait for this success to come to him or for someone to give it to him, he created it with his own two hands.
ReplyDeleteStephani, I think you would enjoy visiting these historic sites. The determination to work hard to accomplish a dream is palable in the farm house.
