Memorial Day.
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
~John 15:13~
Words fail me. I feel there just aren't words to adequately sum up the sacrifice. To truly express the gratitude to each person who's heart is incomplete because their loved one left to serve and didn't come home. Maybe my tears? Maybe that's as close as it gets. The tears that fall every time I allow myself to really consider it. The selflessness of it all. These men and women lay down their lives for me. For my family. For you and the ones you love. There just aren't words. So I'll pray peace and comfort that only the Lord can give. And I'll remember....not just today but often. Every time I see our majestic flag flying, I'll remember. When I hear our nation's anthem play, I'll remember. As I worship God freely each week, I'll remember. The sacrifice will not be forgotten.
