This weekend, millions of Americans will travel, grill outside, ski the lake, go shopping, etc. As I write this post, I'm sitting is a movie theatre, waiting for a show to start (no, I'm not blogging during a movie!). We all recognize the cultural value of family gatherings and leisure time; however, let's not fail to reflect for a moment on the real reason most of us are off of work on Monday, May 30th.
Our nation has, for a few centuries, enjoyed the freedom, prosperity and relative peace and safety that only a superior military can provide. On Memorial Day, our nation remembers those members of our military who gave all they physically could in the service of our nation--their very lives.
As we celebrate, travel, etc. This weekend, don't foget to assemble with the church this Lord's Day to remember the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Only His willingness to fight sin and evil to the death on our behalf allows to experience the liberty, blessings and peace as part of God's family. Jesus conquered death so we could have the ultimate victory.
Let's remember all of the blessings we enjoy and the high price--paid in blood--that was required to purchase them.
God Bless!
