Wednesday May 22nd 2024
You may notice that this is being posted on a Thursday, and
also that I have not posted for a few weeks. That’s because I didn’t remember
to do it!
So today’s word is REMEMBER.
So often we fail to remember an errand, a birthday,
an appointment, or someone’s name. It slips our mind, or we failed to add it to
the calendar. Just as I have failed to take the time to sit and write about the
word that is standing out in my week.
This is usually a short-lived or momentary lapse of memory.
And often we recall too late!
In a few days we will honor those who have made the
ultimate sacrifice while in military service. We remember them and the
gift they gave. We set aside a day of the year to remember all those who
served yet did not survive. They signed on to serve, knowing it could also mean
to sacrifice.
[Let me take this minute to remind you that Memorial
Day is the Day we remember those who died; Veterans’ Day is for honoring
those who served and are living.]
As we remember those who sacrificed for our freedom,
let’s also remember those they left behind, those who miss them still no
matter how long it has been.
And while we’re remembering those who sacrificed, let’s
remember The One who suffered for our sins so we need not. Yes – remember Jesus
Christ paid that price to save you.
