Today you have the opportunity to teach your children that Memorial Day isn’t about cookouts, the beach and fishing.
Today, you can teach them what it means to reflect on the sacrifice others have made so they can be free.
“Thank you” seems so small – so trivial in light of the sacrifice! But there really are no words.
Only a sincere, profound, unexplainable heart of gratitude that pauses and reflects on the cost, on the sacrifice, on the benefits that are ours because others have given their lives.
This is a day to remember.
So today, we honor those who gave their lives for our freedom – the greatest hero of all is Jesus and today, we pause to thank Christ for the ultimate gift that is ours because of the ultimate sacrifice!
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for his friends” John 15:13
To the soldiers who have given their lives and the families who have paid the ultimate price when they lost them, we say THANK YOU!
