Sabbath Morning

This morning I am grateful for my freedom and this wonderful country I live in. Our freedom was bought at a terrible price, one fought for in battles that are ageless. Starting with a great battle in the preexistence where a third of our brothers and sisters fought against Heavenly Father's plan, a plan that gave us the precious gift of free agency. What a terrible cost.

And since that day many more battles have been waged.

I hope the side of right continues to value freedom and liberty. Continues to courageously fight.

It is a solemn responsibility and a cause worth dying for.

This morning I will enjoy the fruits of those fights as I dress my children in their Sunday clothes and head out to worship as I choose.

I will come home and share a meal with friends and family, enjoying the bounty of food and peace that is mine.

I will remember the battles of the past and shore up myself and my family for the days ahead.

I will feel blessed beyond measure and grateful.

Have a happy Sabbath day, and good memorial day friends.
