Greater love hath no man that this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13
We remember them with love and gratitude. Though their faces and names may not have ever been known to us, yet we dare not forget them: The many brave soldiers of the past who gave their lives in defense of our freedom. We remember the families who grieved them----the children who lost their father or brother or uncle. Lord we remember the mothers and fathers who mourned for their sons.
We confess that we take for granted that which so many paid for with their lives. We know that freedom comes at a tremendous price, and yet it is the very best way to live. Without these precious freedoms, we become wards of the government----manipulated and maneuvered by the powerful elite. Father, help us to recognize You as the Source of true freedom and to seek You and the precious law of liberty that You give.
Lord, it is good that our nation give pause today. Help us to do so with honor and respect. Thank You, Lord, for the blessings You heap upon our nation----including these brave warriors throughout our history. Most of all we thank You for Jesus Christ---our never-failing Defender forever. In His Name we pray, Amen.
Please join us in prayer.
