It seems that more focus is put on "sales" than on our heroes for Memorial Day. I just wanted to remind everyone what this day was originally created for.
This is a day to remember the men and women who served our country. All gave some and some gave all. They are the reason we are free to celebrate today.
Before you run out and buy that mattress, think about all of our soldiers who are sleeping on the ground today. If you are buying a car, stop and think about the soldiers with blisters on their feet from walking miles everyday. Say a prayer for them and thank God that they are brave enough to put their lives on the line for you.
As you all enjoy your BBQ's with friends and family stop and think about the families who have an empty seat at their table that belong to a fallen hero. Say a prayer for them and ask God to comfort them in their loss.
Have a blessed and grateful day, my friend. May there always be Shalom in your heart and in your home.
