Blessings A Day 2019-Day 185

#Blessings2019

I am blessed that on this day we became a nation and we became free. We often take those freedoms for granted. We started this nation based on religious freedom. Now look where we are.

We entered into a war (American Revolution) to gain freedom from the oppression of a monarchy. We started a war (Civil War) over the freedom of a race who we brought to this country. We got involved in 2 wars (WWI and WWII) all because the freedoms of others across the ocean were at stake.

We have sent troops into countries because the freedoms of those living in those areas were at stake. We talk about building a boarder wall to protect our freedoms, but to keep others from seeking freedom in our country.

The Civil Rights Area was based on freedom and equality. Women went on strike to gain freedoms and rights (right to vote). Women have worked hard to gain the freedoms they have such as being in the military, be in government and more.

The Constitution of this Nation is based on freedom.

Freedom is a word that is synonymous with a lot of things that this country does or is based upon. We often take those freedoms for granted. We think that it is something that we will always have. However, we have to work hard to keep those freedoms.

On this July 4th I am blessed to be free and I am blessed by all those that I know (past and present) who have helped to preserve those freedoms.
