The Four Freedoms

Norman Rockwell painted a series of four paintings called, "The Four Freedoms". They were inspired by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1941 State of the Union Address. The four freedoms are: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom From Fear, and Freedom From Want.
We are slowly losing these freedoms. We need to thank God for them and take advantage of them while we still have them.
I am grateful for our soldiers that have fought and died for us so we can enjoy these freedoms. I also am grateful to Jesus for setting us totally free through His sacrifice on the cross for us. Galatians 5:1: "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free..."
Have you read the story of the "Immortal Four Chaplins"? Read it at: www.immortalchaplins.org.
Have a happy and safe Memorial Day!
