Many celebrate Memorial Day with picnics or simply think of it as part of a three day weekend - a day to not have to go to work.
But that isn't the reason why we have this day set aside. It's to be a day of remembrance for those who have served in our military and have given their life in order to provide the freedoms we now experience. I suppose this holiday is especially meaningful to me since several members of my family and my husband's family have served in our military. I have a son serving in the Navy now.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13
I encourage you to spend part of today thanking God for the men and women who have willingly given their all so you can live in a free nation.
Let us not forget the high price many have freely given.
Whether it's a conversation with a friend, a word that is penned, or a craft that is made, everything we do leaves a stitch in the fabric of time. Join us as we investigate the stitches of the past and present...
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: ... a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak" (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7).
