Yesterday (Friday) was Veterans Day and we see a small window on the price that men and women paid for the rights of all Americans to pursue religion of their choice, work where they will, puruse what they might and go freely from state to state without difficulty. These freedoms would be taken away if others had/have their way. So....lets remember them and remember that we have a part to play in these freedoms.
Remember with gratitude the men and women who suffer some visible and some invisible injury to their bodies and minds i.e post traumatic syndrom and physical injury.
Stop to thank a veteran when ever you recognize one. If you see a soldier in uniform buy them a cup of coffee or a meal. Do some act of kindness for them without need of repayment. The act is payment enough. Do something for a separated family this holiday season and after the holiday season.
There are other veterans of the great army called of God. There are many who have sacrificed to see that we have a place to worship and equipment to use in sharing the word of God with those under our care.
In both cases of veterans may we be counted upon to share our lives as well.
God bless
