In Memory
Here, at the close of another memorial day, I just wanted to take a few moments to write out my thoughts. A day that is completely dedicated to honor the heroes that have fallen while defending the freedoms that we got to enjoy today. Knowing that for the family of these fallen heroes that today was a day that was possibly filled with grief. My heart breaks for you.
My heart breaks for those that gave up their loved ones that made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and their people. The brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, of this nation that took up arms to defend us. No gratitude that I could ever show you would suffice. No honor or respect that I could show would make up for the hole in someone's life that you left behind.
Scripture says it like this:
John 15:13
"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends"
But not only have you laid down your life for your friends, you laid it down for me and others like me who you don't even know. You have shown the epitome of love for your nation and the people that live in it.
So thank you. Thank you for everything. Words that are so insignificant yet they are all that I can offer.
Today may have been memorial day, but you are in our hearts every day. And to all those that have loved ones that gave their lives for this country, I hope you find comfort to know that God blessed you with a hero in your life.
You are loved. And you are not forgotten.
