Today is Memorial Day. It is a day we set aside to remember and honor all those who have given their lives in service to our country to retain the freedoms granted by God and preserved in our Constitution. Thomas Jefferson’s acclaimed quote, recorded in the Declaration of Independence, continues to be true, crucial, and perhaps even more meaningful.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Let's take time today to give thanks for the tremendous sacrifice these men and women have made to preserve and protect the rights that we frequently overlook in our day to day busyness.
Our Lord knows not only the experience of making an unrepayable sacrifice; but also the experience of grief in losing someone who paid that price.
“For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:6-7, NKJV).
May your day today be not only enjoyable but reverent as well.
Because of Him...
