Memorial Day Weekend

I was raised in a very patriotic family and have tried to raise our kids the same way. Too often, Memorial Day signifies the beginning of summer and trips to the beach. I'm sure everyone knows someone who has served or is serving in our military. Many know someone who has paid the ultimate price so that we might be free. I hope all who read this blog will take a moment to remember them and to thank God for their service and for those serving now.
Do we take our freedom for granted - I believe we often do.
Do we take our salvation for granted - I believe we often do.
Christ paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we would have everlasting life and freedom - freedom from the death penalty we deserve because of our sin. When we accept Him as our Savior, we are given a tremendous gift. Remember to thank God today too. What an awesome God we serve. What an opportunity each day brings to live for Him - to remember what He did for me and how I will honor Him with my life...
