Remembrance Day

Yesterday was Remembrance Day; a day where we remember those who have served so that we can enjoy living in a free country. We were in the car at 11:11, and Hope said, "Okay, everyone quiet!" We observed a moment of silence and then I asked her what that silence meant to her. She said, "It is something we do out of respect. It is the least we can do for those who gave their lives for us."
It got me to thinking about Jesus. More even than the soldiers who have fought for our political freedom, Jesus fought for our complete freedom. The Bible says where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom! Because of what Jesus did on the cross for us over 2000 years ago, we have freedom! Not only that, we have a hope for the future. Remembrance Day should be every day! Everyday we need to remember the sacrifice that was made for us at Calvary and give thanks by living our lives as those who are free. Free from worry, doubt, anxiety, fear, whatever. The enemy tries to paralyze us and place us in bondage, but Jesus Christ came, died and rose again so we could be free. How amazing is that?
I want to live my life in a manner that reflects the fact that God knows me; He has a plan for me; His plan is good, not bad; His plan gives me hope for the future!
Thank you, Lord.
Blessings,
