Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
Memorial Day is a solemn day that I feel businesses shouldn’t take advantage of by having sales like “buy a sofa honor your grandpa who died in the war” just doesn’t get it. This is the day to go to a military cemetery and honor those who died in service of our great nation.
Many use the day to honor and respect all deceased but the true reason for this day is to pay tribute to our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who gave their all to keep Americans free and keep our homeland free from all enemies both foreign and yes even domestic.
Freedom is truly not free. Keep that in mind. My prayer is schools will not lose sight of the valuable lessons and how we have freedom because of the brave men and women who answered the call to serve some at the expense of their own life. The flag still stands for freedom. If you have not been to Washington, DC make travel plans to go there and visit the monuments to this nation.
PRAYER: Lord today I say thanks for America. I say thanks for freedom. Help people here truly stop and think what it means. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
