Memorial Day provides opportunity for family gatherings, water skiing, hiking, fishing, camping…. etc, etc…

Take time this year to remember those who lost their lives serving in our Armed Forces.  Doing this will allow the taste of a grilled hotdog or the fun of a game of frisbee a little more meaningful.  Take time to reflect on those who never saw their family again this side of Glory.  Jesus said in John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”  Of course Jesus paid in full, the ultimate sacrifice.  In doing so, He purchased our freedom from the ravages and punishment of sin.  

Allow your mind to think on those who breathed their last breath protecting our freedoms allowed in this country.  Perhaps we would appreciate our freedom more if remembered the extreme cost!  

 Learn it, love it, live it…
