Freedom
The following is an excerpt from a song I enjoy. It has always moved me. So, I thought I would share and then tie-in a quote from St. Paul. Do you think that the smell of a baby’s head has a trace of life beyond life?
“Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head”
~U2
“I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved...”
~Romans 8: 18-24a
