Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast."

Thank You.

Thank you to all the men and women who fight so hard to keep our country safe.  Thank you for the sacrifices you have made to make sure that we live in a place that is protected by so many.  Thank you for walking the line when many would never want to be where you all have been.  Thank you for having the courage to do things (measures to keep us safe and secure) that many do not know about or even acknowledge.  Thank you for making our homes safe and protected and providing this nation with a sense of peace.  Thank you for putting your life on the line for me and my family and friends so that we can have freedom.  Thank you God for protecting these men and women who work day in and day out to keep our country safe; a sacrifice that many people take for granted.  Thank you Lord for giving us a day to celebrate these brave men and women; I pray that we all remember that every day should be a day that we say "thank you" to the men and women who keep us safe day in and day out.  On this Memorial Day weekend, I pray that we all remember the significance of this holiday and what these men and women in the past, present and future have done for us-- I am so very grateful to live in a place where I am safe, have freedom to live, and know that my God is watching out for us each and every day.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial day!

"Lord, thank you for these men and women who fight for our country.  I pray that each day we remember them and lift them and their families up to you; give them strength and protection as they fight to keep us safe.  Thank you Lord for their sacrifices, on behalf of so many we are so grateful. Amen."
