The Impact of Others On Our Freedom
Next Monday is Memorial Day in the U.S., a day when we honor fallen warriors who have made our freedom possible. It’s easy to make it just another day on the calendar. Yet, if we simply pause and think about the impact of those lives on our own, we can quickly appreciate the direct and daily benefit that we receive from them.
Others impact our freedom; and we impact theirs. We can cultivate our honor and integrity to memorialize anyone who lived and died so that our freedom can be enjoyed.
Have you ever known anyone who impacted your freedom in a positive way? Have you ever diminished the freedom of another? Is it possible to move beyond what we call a “holiday” to a place of profound gratitude for all who value freedom so much that they are willing to die for it?
