Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are the words written by Thomas Jefferson who said they were some of the rights given to us by Our Creator.  To be free in this world means many different things to many different people.  Like all things it is a state of mind.  We experience Liberty to the extent that we are not tied to anything or anyone.  When we are free to fully express ourselves we are liberated.  When we are not hindered by what we think others will think of us we are free.  When we are willing to risk and take action despite the fear we are free.  When we are willing to let go of the anger and the hurt that is crippling us (not the person or entity with which we are angry), we are free.  When we are not in bondage to self, we are free.  Liberty creates room for love.  In the grand picture of life, we all want freedom.  In the picture of today’s life how do we live that liberty?  My prayer for us today is that we be willing to recognize the thoughts that keep up from that liberty of loving fully.  Make it a great one!
