Now, I love any reason to fire up the grill. I always do on these summer holidays. This year, even with no one at home, it was the same. My heart was grateful. Grateful for my Savior. Grateful for my country. Grateful for those who paid the ultimate price for my freedom.
Two stories have had profound impact on me this week. One young lady, Meriam Ibrahim just gave birth to her second child in a Sudanese prison. She is in prison for not denouncing her Faith. I can't imagine her suffering. Unless there is intervention, she will die for her faith. I feel so soft and pampered in comparison. Heavenly Father, please comfort this mother and her children. Strengthen her husband. Impress those in charge to do what is right concerning these American babies and their mom. Please remind me to pray for them and be eternally grateful for the freedom to express my faith. Thank you for dying so that we can have life.
Michael Murphy....I have heard of Murph the protector, but did not until this week read his story. He knowingly exposed himself to the enemy to call for help so that his men would have a chance at survival. I plan to watch His story and Lone Survivor to see the whole story of this human that willingly gave his life for my earthly freedom.
Yes, I grilled but I also remembered.
