Remembering were we came from..........

Good morning peeps! Have you thought about today? Have you thought about what this country is celebrating? Or, is it just a sweet three day weekend for you? What is Memorial Day? It might mean a something a little different to different people. Do you have someone in your family that lost their life defending our freedom? Have you or someone in your family served in the armed forces defending our freedom? These are the people that we should be remembering today. We should be lifting them up. I know this country is in a bad place right now but, we have men and women all over the world still defending us! Plus we have the families back home that are supporting those men and women! We should remember them too! Hey guys, it even talks about remembering those before us in the Bible. Let's dig into the good stuff and see what we find........... 

Bible Verse: Exodus 13:3 "And Moses said unto the people, remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place."

 

Every year, we Americans remember those brave men and women who fought are fighting and gave their lives so that you and I would have the rights that we do! The privileges  of  living  in  a  free  country. I know you may not think about your freedom most of the time but, if you have ever been somewhere that people didn't have it you would cherish it even more. I think that remembering is important. So much so that, God instructs His people on many occasions in the Old Testament to remember from where they came

We should never take our freedom for granted! Listen, there are few things that should be protected till the end. Our freedom is one of them. It is a precious commodity for which the world hungers. And it is a powerful charge for you and me to protect. Can you do me a favor today? If you know of someone in your life who has served or who is serving in the armed forces of this country or maybe someone who has lost a loved one serving. Make a point this week to express to them your gratitude for their service. Have a great day and God bless!
