Memorial Day


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.
