This Memorial Day, let us remember those who gave their lives for serving our country, and remember the One who gave His all.
This time of the year affects everyone differently. Maybe you serve our country now or you used to, maybe you have family members or friends involved in serving, or maybe you just get a three day weekend and don’t really care. However Memorial Day affects you personally, be encouraged to reflect on those who have served us, and most of all, the One who has given us everything.
Let’s take this opportunity to point to the Bible and read Scripture on Memorial Day. I pray it serves as an encouragement for everyone and maybe you can share these passages with someone who is serving or who has served our country.
