Sunday Quotes: Freedom
In honor of yesterday being the birthday of our beautiful country, I wanted to share quotes about freedom.
They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security
Benjamin Franklin
Everything can be taken from a man but … the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
Victor Frankl
We enjoyed our Indpendence Day today. We got up early and went and saw a bunch of hot air balloons take off. It was so fun! I took pictures on my phone but can figure out how to download them. When I do I will post them. After we saw the balloons we went to Home Depot to a kids workshop! That was fun. The rest of the day we stayed at home. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for my freedom. A freedom to create whatever I want of my life! My sister sent me a poem today that talked about the fact that freedom is not free! I totally agree. So many people sacrificed home, family and even their own life for us to have freedom. Do you think about that? I don’t think about it often enough!
I am grateful to have a holiday like this to remember those that had a hand in creating this great country that I call home! First I am grateful for my Mother who choose to come to this country from England at the age of 21. I am also grateful for my Father who served 20 years in the Air Force serving this country. I can’t forget my ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary war for the right to worship how they pleased! I grateful for the freedom I have been blessed with!
