Memorial Day is set aside for all Americans to honor the memory and sacrifice of those who have given the ultimate gift - the sacrifice of their life - that we might live freely in the places of our own choosing. It is a tribute to those who gave that we might have. In our having we also must remember that in our receiving we are also called upon to give. We may never give our personal and only lifes blood however we can give in many ways. The gift of your thanks to God and to every survivor of that one who has given their lives is without measure. As we give honor on Memorial Day we also are called upon to give our intellect, spiritual and physical strength and personal involvement to insure that those who sacrificed so great a sacrifice will not have died in vain. Perhaps there is a widow and orphaned children who endure harship gather our community to help ease their burdens. Each of us must not become dull of remembering. May this Memorial Day bring us to a place of humility and lifting of our eyes to heaven in thanksgiving and submission to service.
May God bless each of you who have ones from your family who have given the ultimate gift.
Thank you..
Walter Rose
Pastor
