Today is a day that it is important to remember. It's not simply a day off from work and school. It's not just a day to eat lots of food and go to a bbq, or watch a parade with all the excitement.
Sure these things are fun and we try to celebrate, but we must not forget that on Memorial Day we are honoring and remembering those that served and gave their lives for our nation.
There are some that may not celebrate on this day because they are remembering a loved one that they have lost. My heart and prayers go out to them.
There are many men and women that were willing to give their lives for our freedom and God wants us to never take that for granted, but there was one that gave His life for our freedom and we should never forget.
Jesus died on the cross so that we all could have freedom. His life was the ultimate sacrifice.
Through your life has God shown you miracles? I know myself I can answer yes, yes, and YES!
How often do we forget these miracles when we are going through hard times and struggles. We get so consumed by our situations and our emotions that we forget that we serve a powerful God.
God has not failed us and He won't start now. Remember the miracles and the sacrifice in those hard times. Let it encourage your heart. Remember that we serve a faithful God.
Today as you are going about your day keep these things in mind. Enjoy your day with family and friends. Please remember to honor and thank a person in service for all that they do.
Happy Memorial Day Be Blessed!
Great post! What a great reminder to remember Christ as the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom from death. As a mom now I never considered Memorial Day special, but now with 4 kids and a hubby (army veteran) I am so glad my hubby is alive, that my God is alive. Have a blessed Memorial Day Sherri!
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel my perspective on Memorial Day has definitely changed. God Bless your family, and thank you to your husband for his service. ~Sherri
