Independence denotes freedom from something – a country, a
relationship, a governing power of any kind.
Toddlers want to be independent, to do things themselves. Teens want to be independent and not be told
what to do. Twenty-somethings want to be independent and
begin their own life out from under their parents’ roof. Seniors do not want to lose their
independence.
I am blessed to live in a country established by men who
fought for independence. Moving from a
monarchy to a democracy meant taking a huge step. It meant many had to die. It allowed for new thought. It gave birth to a new country based on a new
set of rules grounded in Biblical truth.
Independence was a good thing.
Thank you, Lord, for those who took the risk for
independence. May I never take that for
granted.
