Freedom is....

.... a tea party taking place between a young child and a teddy bear from a peek around the corner ; ), skipping rocks across the creek, laying in the grass listening to the night sounds and counting the stars, sitting amidst the boulders in a mountain stream, hiking walking trails, finding the one, spotting the sparkly rock amidst all the dull ones, tree houses, picking beautiful flowers for the table, the really good meal that hasn't been for awhile, strong scent of a honeysuckle tree, white roses, daffodils at Easter, unceasing, never-ending love, treasure hunts in the word of God, finding sea shells on the beach, and we can't forget sandcastles, a song that touches your spirit and breaks you, a contrite spirit, recall of clearing all the hurdles, walks in the woods in the fall, the break of day, a warm day with no humidity ..ha, singing my babies to sleep at night, the many versions of the bible, reading a good book, an excellent workout, the most exact timely word that melts your heart unto encouragement, love of the brethren, experiences you never forget, the moment you first laid eyes on your child, a really good read, a movie that you are excited to see, loving your children, vision you could about write a book about, a great message that hits home in your heart, finding the treasure of  your heart at the end of the rainbow knowing luck had nothing to do with it, the perfect picture, words that jump off the page, new shoes, seeing salvation take place in a heart, watching seed enter in, big hugs, the miraculous wonder working power flowing, character, exhortation, servant's heart, virtue, wisdom, a timely word, throwing out the clock during worship and letting what will be be, the power of the infilling of the Holy Spirit, spontaneity, throw-down worship, the colors of the autumn leaves, twinkling Christmas lights, the fire of His holiness, trusting His might, an attitude of gratitude, a calendar full of fellowship, waterfalls, the night sky in the gulf, playing a game you haven't played in years, doing things that everyone else thinks is silly, the deepest places of prayer, finding baby bunnies in the hollowed part of the tree, a clean house, revelation from above, truth and love, a verse you see twice, victory, serving one who has virtually nothing realizing they have most to gain, music that makes the heart dance, seeing the puzzle fit together and realizing there are no pieces missing because He did it, a flowing adoration that speaks volumes in a glance or a word, true forgiveness, deliverance unto, adventure, enthusiasm, zeal, expectation that finds the answer and it's still fun, heaven and earth mentality, giving & receiving the servant's blessing, havin' church that doesn't look like 'having church' ; ), abundant life, zoe flowing, every multifaceted perspective of the diamond, recovering what was lost after a long time missing, true encouragement to another, loud thankful freedom song, radiance in the church, power of the holy spirit to the people...These are some of what freedom is!
