Remember

Proverbs 10:7 –“The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.”     Happy Memorial Day! Today we celebrate the memories of the members of our armed forces who sacrificed their lives in the service to our country. We are indeed thankful for those who laid down their lives for those of us not trained, equipped, capable or confident enough to take up arms and defend ourselves. We are truly blessed to live in a land where freedom is hallmark and men and women of all ages, creeds and backgrounds can serve a unified nation by land, sea or sky. To the families of members of our Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, Marines, Army, and Special Services units who have lost their lives to protect our shores we thank you and honor their memories.     Most importantly we give highest praise and honor to our Lord Jesus Christ who gave up his life for our ultimate freedom. Through his sacrifice we have the assurance of redemption, unfounded joy, salvation and eternal life. We are truly blessed to live in a land where we are free to worship and that freedom is guaranteed through the actions of our service men and women and our belief in Jesus Christ. They made the sacrifice; we honor them because we remember.     Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day! Don’t be distracted – stay focused on your purpose! Be blessed!
