Sacrifice
for Freedom
As our whole Nation sits this week in remembrance and honor of those who
died a year ago on 9/11 our hearts sadden once again in disbelief that
this actually happened. So many times we take for granted our freedom and ALL
the sacrifices that are made for our freedom. It is sad that it takes a
National tragedy to bring unity to a country that has been Blessed beyond words.
What is even more sad is that the unity and patriotism only lasts for a little
while. Over 2,000 years ago the greatest Sacrifice for Freedom occurred. When
Jesus died on a cross for all mankind to have eternal life, freedom from Satan's
bondage and a Peace that is ever abounding - what a gift, what an incredible Sacrifice! But just like the unity and patriotism that comes from a
National tragedy - our ecstatic witness diminishes after time as well. We
have a set Holiday to remember this wonderful Sacrifice called Easter -just like we have a set date to remember our National Tragedy - 9/11.
As a Nation Under God we should forever hold our Freedom in our hearts and
minds. We should wake every morning and thank God for the freedom that He
has given us as an individual and as a country. We should hold in our hearts the men, women, children, and their families that have paid the ultimate
sacrifice for this Nation - their life. And pray and ask God to restore
joy, happiness, peace, unity and patriotism to America and every American. As a
Nation Under God we need to pray that God will restore our wholesome
heritage and give us Godly leaders that we may be a witness to other
countries of how Blessed a Nation Under God can be! We shouldn't let the
Sacrifices for Freedom be in vain, let everyday be in Remembrance and
Honor for all the Sacrifices for Freedom!

together in unity!
