Memorial Day

Many remember exactly where they were on that dark Tuesday morning. September 11, 2001 is just one of many times the lives of innocent men and women were lost because of radical terrorists. Today as we think on how none of us desires war may we remember those who sacrificially have given and continue to risk their very lives for our safety and protection and for the safety and protection of other innocents around the world. If it were not for so many U.S. soldiers stationed around the world, not only would there many more innocent lives lost, but our very lifestyle and freedoms that we are privelaged to enjoy may be in jeapordy. May we never forget that our freedom has been purchased by the blood of those who have fought, protected, and even given their lives to serve this country and our world abroad.

Dear Heavenly Father, you are so gracious and merciful, please release ministering angels to guard all on duty this day who continue to seek and choose life. Be with the families who have loved ones away from them at this time and cover those who are so precious to us in the blood of Christ that they might be preserved for their time in destiny to choose you and serve you that they may enjoy the freedom in the abundant life You've given us. As You've said we're given a chance to choose in this lifetime life or death, blessing or cursing as illustrated in Deut. 30:19. May we choose life. In Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

Thank you to everyone who has served and is continuing to serve in all the military forces for the sake of life and also to those in the medical, and life-giving feilds (firefighters, EMTs, ambulance workers, police force, hospital staff, etc.) on the homefront.
