I woke up this morning knowing we have an abundance. We have enough for today which means we are satisfied. We even have enough for tomorrow, which is an abundance. When I realize this and the fact that we are so fortunate in America, it causes me to wonder - why? Why do we have enough when others don't?
The answer to this question is not a simple one. Yet, I came to the profound reason of freedom. We have more prosperity in America than anywhere else because we have more FREEDOM in America than anywhere else. The two go hand in hand. And why do we have the freedom we have?
Because brave men and women stood up to tyranny in 1776 and we still stand up to it today. Our freedom was and still is hard-won, it has and continues to cost untold numbers of lives. Sometimes we think freedom is free or at the least, some of us take it for granted. Many in America today don't even remember our country's history or how far we have come. So today, when I think of the fact that we have all we need I will be mindful of the cost - and not in dollars and cents but in loss and struggle resulting in triumph.
Blessings,
Olivia
