As we celebrate Memorial Day with our families, we may find
ourselves eating a hamburger or taking our first summer swim. If we are lucky, we are surrounded by family
and friends enjoying the relaxation that comes on a holiday. As we enjoy our loved ones, may we also
remember those who are not so fortunate.
Let us remember those who are celebrating through tears because they are
missing a loved ones who fought for our freedom. Let us remember the parents, the children, the
cousins, the aunts, the uncles, the friends that will never get to hug their loved
one again because they gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Let us also remember those buried at Arlington and various
military cemeteries throughout the world.
Let us remember those are buried in church and private cemeteries. Let
us remember those who are buried in public cemeteries, family cemeteries and in
mass graves. Let us remember those whose ashes are placed in a home or spread
over a favorite place. Let us remember all of those brave men and women who
stood strong in the face of danger to protect our freedoms.
God please watches
over these ultimate worriers and those who suffer from their great loss. May
they find peace in Your love. Please
also watch over the rest of us and help our hearts to remember what this day is
really about. Amen.
