Never Forget

Take time this Memorial Day to give thanks for the many brave men and women who have given so much that we might live free. Freedom and liberty are both wonderful things but both come with a high price. We as parents today must be diligent to remind our children that both freedom and liberty begin with a high respect for a Holy God and a deep conviction for His truth, even if we have to give our lives to protect it. Scores of millions of God fearing men and women have endured wars, death, famine, poverty, fire, persecution, imprisonment, torture, ungodly punishment, shame, loneliness, loss of family, homes, and wealth, all because of their unwavering love for God, country,  and us. Remember tomorrow to thank God for such people, and give thanks in your heart for those who have died, so that you truly appreciate the freedom that cost them so much!
