I Remember

"Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God" 1 Peter 2:16

Just a friendly reminder of Memorial Day and it's meaning...

The reason this is the land of the free is because of the brave, not the ACLU.

Its Fleet Week in Manhattan and the men and women are roaming the streets in uniform getting their fair share of nods of gratitude.

We are the greatest nation in God's green earth as we live a beautiful life of freedom paid for and graciously given to us as a gift.
This hefty payment was the lives of tens of thousands of men and women who we remember and honor today.

As I give thanks to our fallen soldiers and the ones who answered the call to duty today, I am sorry we are not the United States so many fought and died before.

Lord Jesus, please bless and bring our dedicated and heroic men and women home and may the ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the love of their country be exalted by your presence and grace.

Wouldn't it be nice if our nation rose up and flew right?
