Today's reading: Galatians 4-6

This week marked the anniversary of the 1944 Invasion of Normandy. In honor of that momentous day in our history, several radio and television programs re-visited that moment in time. I heard such an interview this week with Dr. Dobson while he was standing on the shores of Normandy.

Dr. Dobson asked the historian how in the world the United States of America could ever repay the debt they owed to the men who fought that June day. The man's reply? He didn't consider it a 'debt', what those men gave was a gift. Debts can be repayed, gifts are given as such.

Like Christ's death on the cross for our sins.

"God sent him to buy freedom for us..." Galatians 4:5 NLT

We couldn't begin to return the favor. We haven't the wherewithall to repay what was done. We don't have the time to give back.

A gift, pure and simple.
