Memorial Day




Picture compliments of Google Images




Morning Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well this
 Memorial Day,  but some of you
maybe not so good, if you have
lost a loved one who has served
our country with their very life.


I have to say I find it hard to say
Happy Memorial Day because of 
what this day really stands for....
it seems like Somber Memorial
Day would be more befitting.
Since it is really a day for
 remembering those who have
paid the ultimate sacrifice for
our freedoms.


So today.....
We are thanking the Lord for all the
brave service men and women, and our
brave police men and women, who have
served our country by paying the ultimate 
price, their lives, to protect us,
 our freedom, and our country.
We thank you for your sacrifice!


The Bible says:
Greater love has no one than this: 
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
John 15:13


We are also praying for the families
 of those who have lost their lives, as 
they have paid a huge price as well 
and have to carry on without those 
they loved.  We pray comfort, peace
 and healing for each family member,
and we thank you for your sacrifice
as well..............


We are also praying for Permanent
 Peace for our World,
as President Trump has asked our
nation to do on this Memorial Day.


President Donald Trump 
has proclaimed Memorial Day, 
May 28, 2018, as a Day for Prayer
 for Permanent Peace.
 He called on all American’s, saying, 
“On this day, let us also unite in prayer
 for lasting peace in our troubled world
so that future generations will enjoy the
 blessings of liberty and independence.”

Excerpt from the
 Presidential Prayer Team


We are also thanking the Lord Jesus
 for being the first one to give the
 greatest sacrifice by laying down his
life to save us from our sins......

We are also thanking God for our
President and leaders and for the 
amazing priviledge we have to live
in this great country called the 
United States of America,
cause even with all her problems 
I can't think of any place else I
would rather live.........
I am proud to be an American!!


So I will leave you with this 
wonderful patriotic song.
