Today is Veterans Day. Today is a very special day. It doesn’t matter what your views are on any war, past or present, these special men and women put their lives on the line for our freedom. To them, I am forever grateful. Thank you.
I enjoyed a peaceful, dreamless sleep last night. I woke to a warm home and safe. I can’t begin to imagine what it is like to not sleep or sleep so lightly that you are aware of the rustling of the trees, footsteps in the distance, unnatural silence, jets flying over or bombs going off all around. These brave men and women kept this away from here, away from our country.
I am able to have faith in my God, as I see Him, without being persecuted. Others are able to have faith in their gods, as they see them, without being persecuted.
I am able to go to the grocery and purchase foods of my choice. Fresh foods and have access to fresh water – every day. I am able to seek employment of my choice, and as much employment as I choose.
I can go shopping for clothes, cars and fun things. I can wear just about anything that I choose, wear makeup if I choose, color my hair if I choose, cut my hair if I choose, buy sell or trade my truck if I choose, and even watch movies or television shows of my choice. I can buy candy, cakes and sodas to my heart’s content.
I can visit a doctor and get the medicines that I need, not just what is available at the time. I can have dental work done as needed, and by a specialist if needed.
I have a cellphone and internet service. I can read whatever I choose and wherever I choose. I have more conveniences than I can list. Dishwasher, microwave, oven, stove, washer, dryer, running water, indoor bathrooms, hot water, a shower, soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, body washes, body lotions…
I am forever grateful. Thank you.
