Dear Friend,
Just 4 days from now, May 28, Memorial Day will be observed in the United States. Unfortunately, for far too many, this day is merely considered the first day of summer, or a day off from work?nothing more.
If you are reading this as a citizen of a different country, or as a recent immigrant to the United States, you may be tempted to disregard this email. But, I ask you, how many times did you, in your native land, lament the death of traditional values, or grieve that your own people have forgotten their past, and ignored their heritage? I believe there is something to learn by looking at what is happening in America.
What?s happening in America? Well, we are going on about our own business. In most cases, that?s fine, but we?re forgetting...we?re forgetting that the freedoms we enjoy were paid for with precious lives. How precious? Jesus Christ shed His blood for every one of them.
?Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.? - John 15:13 NIV
We must remember to take some time to be grateful for those who have sacrificed on our behalf. To pray for families who have lost loved ones, and to pray for men and women who are, even now, in harm?s way. Men and women of the military?past and present?have put their lives on the line so we can go on about our business!
?Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.? - Romans 13:7 NIV
So, as we travel to see family and friends, or enjoy a day in the warm sun, it is only right that we take some time to reflect, pray, perhaps write a letter or card, and, as led, participate in an event or volunteer to a veteran?s cause. Our web movie honoring American Veterans, ?American Flame,? features a link to ?America Supports You,? an excellent resource for exploring ways we can support our troops and veterans. Please take a few moments to look at it.
The Memorial Day edition of ?American Flame? is available for free viewing on InterviewwithJesus.com at the Web address below.
