Things I Am Thankful For…#3

I’m thankful for the country we live in and the military who fight for our freedom. I never want to take for granted the freedoms we have in this country. The fact that I can get up every morning and know that I am safe, that my kids are safe, that I food on my table, and a roof over my head are huge to me. To know that I can voice my disagreements with the way things are and that I can worship the God without fear of being persecuted is huge to me.

I also don’t take for granted that people are giving their lives fighting in our military. I’m not concerned on your views on war (and mine might surprise you) but I 100% support our troops who are giving their lives so I can live in freedom and safety. To know they are sacrificing so much is humbling to me.

I think the church brings politics onto the stage WAY to much, but I also think we pray for our troops and tell them THANK YOU way too little.

I heard this song a few weeks ago. It is written by some dudes that attend West Ridge, where I served before coming here. It has made it pretty big around here and I thought it was perfect to express the way I feel towards our military and country. You can listen here.
