I love the wild abandoned feel of freedom.

Who does not?  I guess it is fair to ask,

But seems to me we like to be tethered

To most things, including daily tasks.

.

.

The daily task of being a bread winner

That usually requires a car.

Insurance and most usually, smog testing,

Without upkeep cannot get very far.

.

.

We are tethered to house payments, utilities,

And to pleasure; we have our fun!

Then there is not much left that we are not tethered to.

The worry lines dig deep when day is done.

.

.

We tether the dog when we go walking.

He likes the feeling of security!

While I am not a pet, God is my Father

And I do feel secure when He is with me.

.

.

When I am tethered to God all else is freedom

And I love the freedom that I can feel!

Has He not promised to take care of me?

There you have it!  It is a done deal!
