Growing up, Memorial Day brought joy by having a vacation day, the Indy 500, and the ‘official’ beginning of summer. Looking back, it’s humbling to now realize that I didn’t fully recognize the sacrifice that was made by many men and women to battle for a country to have freedom to enjoy such things. So THANK YOU to the millions of men and women who sacrificed so much that we could live in such a country.
Now I also think back over our Christian heritage and realize that I never fully comprehended that the huge sacrifice that Christ made for all mankind globally. It is only when we die to our own pride and arrogance and put on the cloak of humility that we truly can find purpose and joy right here and right now. Heaven is for real and it can begin right now if we welcome in His gift of forgiveness. Then we too are free to forgive and grace on other people. That is the price that Christ paid on our behalf when He made the ultimate sacrifice.
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! Let Freedom Ring!
