Freedom at a Cost

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it- the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. Colossians 3:21-22

Hi Friends,

Today, in America, we remember those who fought and died for the freedoms we enjoy. People, some we may know, some we don't, who were all willing to fight for the U.S. And, they gave their lives for this country- for us. Americans, let's take time this weekend to remember and honor those who served our nation and are no longer with us.

There was Another who was willing to give His life for our freedom, our Lord Jesus Christ. And He, not only freed us from sin, but from having to live according to legalism. Jesus fulfilled the Law, and because of that, in Him we can claim His righteousness. Wow! There is nothing we can or have to do. Jesus completed the work. All we have to do is believe in Him, our sweet Savior.

Our freedom, whether the freedom we enjoy in America, or the freedom we enjoy as believers, came at a cost, a very high cost. Honor those fallen. Honor our Lord and Savior above all.

Page details: I used the following Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps sets: Like a Sunflower, Grunge Stripe Background, Freedom in Christ, Way Maker, & Grunge Elements 3. Grunge Stripe Background is FREE with a $60 purchase in June! I used distress oxides for the background. The sunflower bloom was stamped on a hymnal page, cut out, and glued to the Bible page. I used a colored pencil to color in the stem.

Have a blessed week, friends. Andrea
