Happy Monday to all. As I went for a morning run today, I had plenty of time to think about the significance of this specific Monday, Memorial Day. I pray that you are also thinking about this. I'm not talking about the great sales you can get on a new car, or that new riding mower, or stuff for the yard. I'm also not talking about the opening of the pool club, or the backyard barbecue that you might have plans to attend. No, I'm talking about the significance of all those brave men and women that have and continue to risk life and limb to protect our freedom, a freedom which some are determined to gradually whittle away.
Do you know someone who has served in our armed forces? Have they seen active duty during a war fought to protect our freedom? Thank them and pray for them.
Do you know someone who is or has a loved one currently serving in our armed forces. Thank them and pray for their continued safety.
On this significant day, take a few minutes throughout the day to pray for these brave individuals and their families. How difficult it must be as we all celebrate and go to cookouts and the pool club for families who have a mom or dad that are overseas fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan. Pray for them to have comfort in knowing that God is watching over their loved ones.
My morning devotion asks the question "Are you are ready for Judgment Day?" I once heard a veteran of war say that he never met an atheist in a foxhole. These brave men and women go out each and everyday knowing that they have to be ready for Judgment Day. Pray for their safe return to their families.
God Bless you and God Bless America!
