Freedom's Fortunes

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Our July 4th this year was fairly relaxed. I went grocery shopping, hubby grilled while the kids and I played in the pool. We took a nap. It was great. Nice and relaxing. That evening I was in the bedroom and I could just hear the kids out in the front room, playing around. It was the best sound. Four year old Emily and one year old Jsher were just laughing and giggling. And it went on for a good ten minutes or more. I love to hear that sound! Another thing I love, the freedom I have as a child of God. Freedom from sin's curse, and the resources God gives me to help me to live a better life, and to make my life better. Resources like His Word, and my church, brothers and sisters in Christ, parents and grandparents that faithfully attend AND serve in church (this is the best heritage I could ever hope to have), and good Christian music and radio stations to listen to. Freedom to love my kids with all I've got and to know that when I parent them His way we all will reap eternal rewards despite what the rest of the world tells me. I am thankful for the freedoms God has given me as a citizen of the United States of America. But I am even more thankful for my freedoms as a child of the King.
