Happy Memorial Day! On this day set aside to remember and honor those who have and are making tremendous sacrifices for our country through serving in the Armed Forces, join me in praising God for our men and women in uniform who defend our nation and preserve our freedoms.
Sacrifice is a word often associated with the military. We think of fallen soldiers. Long, physically draining training exercises. Deployments to potentially dangerous locations. Spouses and kids missing their deployed parent, especially during holidays and special events. Frequent moves and saying goodbye to wonderful friends.
I think it’s safe to say that military personnel, and their spouses and children, know sacrifice well.
But there’s One Sacrifice that unfortunately, many in the military community don’t know personally. Many don’t know of the Ultimate Sacrifice that was made just for them. Would you join me in praying today for the souls of our military. Pray that service members and family members alike, would come to know and experience the love and grace Jesus, who made the ultimate sacrifice on the cross for all of humanity.
Many of the folks in the Key Club either are currently serving or have served in the military. To those folks and their families, I’d like to say thanks for your service!
And for everyone, thanks for partnering with me in serving our troops by praying for them and their families! Thanks for having an eternal impact on the military community.
Blessings,
Beth
Praise note, Many have asked how my dad is doing, and I’m happy to let you know that he’s doing well and this is his final week at Balad AB, Iraq!! He begins his journey home next week. : )
