(writings on July 4, 2025)
It’s the name of a tasty wine we drank with our fancy Fourth of July hot dog meal served with a side of incredibly juicy watermelon. Unshackled… from the chains of British rule when US declared independence in 1776. I am so very grateful for the men and women who sacrificed for the founding of our country.
Unshackled brings with it hope. The chains have been lifted. Freedom waits. Unburdened from the demands from before, set free from a cage. Set free to fly, to explore, to smile and laugh, to work hard for gains, to give with gratitude, and to serve with love. Unshackled from the bondage of sin to choose to serve God and not men.
It is a word that excited me with possibilities. Let us live unshackled, set free. Let freedom ring!
