The Liberty Bell Is Cracked...Happy Labor Day...!!!

If you remember your American history, you'll recall that the world famous icon, The Liberty Bell, which resides and is on display in the historic area of downtown Philadelphia, has a crack in it...!

I forget the exact reason for the crack, but I assure you although The Bell itself is flawed...FREEDOM is not flawed...

It can't be, because it comes from God Himself Who is flawless...!!!

Every Holiday we seem to remember and value FREEDOM...

And that is a good thing...for, without freedom, human beings cannot achieve their full potential...

Government should only do for the citizenry what the citizenry cannot do for themselves...!!!

Let us value WORK and the freedom to be employed...LABOR and the freedom to labor...

Work and labor are good things to be sought after, not to be shunned or frowned upon...

For every one who chooses not to work when they're able to, there are those who labor to support that individual in their laziness...!!!

On this Labor Day weekend, let us thank God for the freedoms we have in America, and the ability to work to provide a good existence for our families...!!!

And let us pray that those who are unemployed will find gainful employment so as to fully enjoy the liberties with which God has enjoined us...!!!

Great thoughts Fran going into Labor day especially thanking God for our freedom. Enjoy your holiday.

Thanks for the great post. Have a happy and restful Labor Day.

Gary: And you and your family have a great Labor Day...!!!

Irene: Looking forward to a 3 day weekend, but with plenty of enjoyable 'work' around the house...!!!

Thanks, Fran

Fran, I love your attitude. I am a fan of work or don't eat- speak of which I need to go do both. have a great weekend. cw

Cheryl,

I like your attitude as well...working and eating are two of my favorite 'hobbies'...!!! Thanks, Fran

P.S. Perhaps I should have prioritized them better...eating and working...!!! LOL

Fran ~ Here is the little story behind that crack.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger tells the story in its Feb. 26, 1846 publication:

"The old Independence Bell rang its last clear note on Monday last in honor of the birthday of Washington and now hangs in the great city steeple irreparably cracked and dumb. It had been cracked before but was set in order of that day by having the edges of the fracture filed so as not to vibrate against each other ... It gave out clear notes and loud, and appeared to be in excellent condition until noon, when it received a sort of compound fracture in a zig-zag direction through one of its sides which put it completely out of tune and left it a mere wreck of what it was."

I thank God everyday for my freedom and I also have been praying we don't lose it. I have free agency and that agency lets me decide what is write and wrong, but being told by the government how live is taking that free agency away and that is not what government is there to do.

Fran, beautiful post. We took our kids to see it many years ago. IT was profound being there.

Let Liberty Ring throughout the Land... now and forevermore.

I sure thank God for the freedom I have and the ability (and health) to work. Oh Fran, there are some of those lazy good-for-nothing bums in my family with their hands out all the time...makes me really ashamed. (Thankfully they're distant relatives!).

Have a relaxing Labor Day Weekend, my friend.

AMEN! I salute you and am in agreement with your post! Where the spirit of the LORD is.... there is LIBERTY!

Jan Marie: Thanks for filling in the missing history link...!!!

TC: I value those freedoms also...They are currently being challenged, but freedom and truth always win in the end...!!!

Missy: Yes, liberty is a great ring tone...!!!

Kat: Best wishes go out to you also! You've been a great friend on AR...!!!

Diane: We always agree on principles...great minds think alike...!!!

Thanks, Fran

I sure hope you are right, I'm going to as many rallies as I can to try to keep out freedoms that keep being chipped away at day by day.

TC,

Doesn't time fly when you're having fun...AND VICE VERSA...!!! :)

Thanks, Fran
