Honor
This Weekend is Memorial Day Weekend. While traveling around our city I have listened to the plans of numerous people, however, not once did I hear a remembrance of the true meaning of Memorial Day. While I am glad to have the third day off of work, I remember the real reason of Memorial Day, I suppose because my parents were of the generation that fought in World War II. They instilled a memory of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us to live a life to choose freedom. We as a nation are again at a crossroads of choosing freedom or ease, Christianity is at a crossroads of choosing the path Jesus sat forth or ease. It is a time to become involved, to not do what is more convenient for my circumstance, but to do what is right for our Nation and for the Church.
So on this day, please remember those that have fallen in our country so that we may enjoy the blessedness of freedom. Remember those that have paid the price to live fully for Jesus in a country that is increasingly making it more difficult to live a righteous life. We in the United States have been so very blessed by all those that have lived before us, it is now our time to be a blessing to those that will come behind. Will they still find freedom to live their lives in the United States of America as we have? It is your decision.
