Thoughts on Mom & Son Soccer

The other night I was out with my my son, Liam, playing soccer while the dog wandered around. We went to a place near our local airport where a military museum houses tanks and other military vehicles. 

While kicking the ball around it dawned on me, with tanks in sight off in the distance, how many Mothers and sons around the world live in fear of tanks and the military and evil regimes. Where a simple game of soccer in the street could be at great risk. 

I'm thankful for this country, for our veterans young and old, and for freedom to live without fear and play a game of soccer. I never want to take it for granted.

Let's pray and remember all those displaced around the world.
