Day of Praise

Thu, May 23, "Day of Praise"

"I have great confidence in you: I take great pride in you..." - 2 Corinthians 7:4

As the Memorial Day weekend approaches, my heart has already turned to God in thanks for all who have given their lives sacrificially in order that we might have the freedoms we enjoy in this great land. Think about the Veterans you know who were willing to pay the greatest price of their life as they served in our nation's peace-keeping forces.

Here's a couple quotes from one of our nation's greatest Veterans, General Douglas MacArthur: "By profession I am a soldier and take pride in that fact, but I am prouder to be a father." And "O, Lord...build me a son whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high, a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past."

Thank a Veteran today. Thank the family of a Veteran who died for us. Remember Veterans in your prayers each day. Praise and thank God for the freedoms we enjoy as we live, which are freedoms that were won for us by so many who have gone before us in death.

"I have great confidence in you: I take great pride in you..." - 2 Corinthians 7:4

Praise God!
