For Those Who Give Their Lives...

Memorial Day has come once again. The mall was bustling, and I feel as though my feet may fall off from the hours shopping! This morning was the beginning of Vacation Bible School and I'm excited for the week ahead!

But today is about more than shopping and VBS. Memorial Day is a special time of remembrance for the men and women who have served and died in the armed forces. We are truly blessed to have brave men and women fighting for our freedom. They fight so we can worship freely, so we can choose what we want to be when we grow up, so we can have simple luxuries, like deciding whether we want to torture our feet with high heels or whether we want to eat bacon...

So, I want to share one of my favorite quotes:  "Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you. Jesus Christ and the American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for freedom."

As you crawl in to bed tonight, or whenever, think of a soldier. Pray for him. And Pray for our country.

Soldiers, current and former, who are special to me:

My Brother, US Army

 My Bro-in-Law, US Army

My Daddy, US Air Force

My Grandaddy, US Navy
