Men forget.

Out on the golfcourse, wanting to finish that last hole, no time left to vote. Ah, what’s one vote?

Men forget to value their freedom with their actions, their priorities.

Women forget.

Spending money on purses. Shoes. Yet another outfit. A bigger house. Not willing to sacrifice. Demanding more from the government, less from themselves. It’s my right!

Women forget what it means to be an American–hard work, sacrifice, standing on our own two feet and reaching out a personal helping hand to those who cannot.

We forget.

Complaining about circumstances, refusing to sacrifice, ignoring the lessons of history, willingly giving up our freedom, and for what! For a feel-good that hurts.

We forget the cost.

This family will never forget.

We forget.

Friday night. The choices. The temptations. The sin. Living as if He is not here. Crucifying Him with our choices and “making up for it” on Sunday morning.

We forget the cost.

You freely took that heavy cross
when you could have easily left it.
You let them pierce your mighty hands
when you had the power to stop them.
You could have flown at lightning speed
When they challenged you to come down off that tree.
But you never did.
You could have left us all,
Wrote us off as a lost cause,
But you never did.
~Stephen Bautista

Throughout the bloody history of our country’s hard-fought freedom, men have given up their lives to give you liberty. Do not spit on their graves by so casually giving it up. Stand up and be counted among the real men and save this country.

Throughout the history of the world, God has preserved for mankind a path of eternal life. Over 160 prophecies made by different men in different eras were all fulfilled through Christ. He lived, He died, He rose, all for you. He would have done it if you were the only sinner on earth. Do not spit on Him by so casually living for yourself and denying Him. Stand up and be counted among the children of God and live for Him.

Freedom. The cost is immeasurable. The gift is priceless.

Value it.

Live it.

Don’t give it up.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
