Tomorrow is Independence Day here in America and, being that we are off from work, I probably will not post. So, with Independence Day in mind, I have a thought - LIBERTY.
If you were to ask others what true liberty is, you would probably get as many answers as people asked. Liberty means so much to so many, yet, so little to others it seems. Men and women have paid the ultimate price to give us the freedoms, the liberties, we enjoy. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT.
Today's word is a quote from William Hazlitt, which says, "The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves."
When you love liberty, you want everyone to be free from oppression and bondage; you want everyone to experience the freedoms that you enjoy. Some people won't allow themselves to love a particular sect or nationality or religion; JESUS tells me to love everyone. I will state again that I may not love what they do, I may not believe what they believe, I may not love what they love but I can always love them. You see, liberty gives us the freedom to love. We don't have to love sin but we can most definitely love the sinner.
Tomorrow when you sit around with family enjoying the day off, think about the many that gave it all to give us the freedom to love. Then, LOVE!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
