This Monday is the day we honor the military service men and women who have given their lives for our country's freedom. The service and sacrifice of these persons in the military is staggering. It is "giving their lives" whether they die in the line of duty or live their lives giving that service.
My former father in law, my former husband, and my two sons were/are all career military-Navy and Marines....110 years of service. My grandson is now a Marine and training in reconnaissance. We watched a television documentary of their training on Netflix the other night. If you want to honor the military by having a little insight into their sacrifice, you may want to watch this. It is on Netflix; under television documentary and then under "Surviving the Cut." There are a number of other training films on that site but this is the one about Marine Recon.
I watch this and wonder, "What would I be willing to put this much work, effort and commitment into? Is there anything in my life, I would work that hard for?" I believe we all make sacrifices and work very hard in our own lives to support our political freedoms.
And there is such a freedom in recovery. Freedom from a demon that controls and undermines our ability to be the person God wants us to be. Are you working on your freedom from that demon today? How? Are you "Surviving the Cut?"
Blessings-Penny
