thank God for Veterans

Be on your guard. Remain strong in the faith. Be brave.

- 1 Corinthians 16:13 (NIRV)

 

Today is Veteran’s day, so first off, thank you to every single one of you that are reading this message if you have served in the U.S. military, today is your day.

To the men and women in the military, we honor your sacrifice and your service.

I am the granddaughter of a U.S. soldier, I am the daughter of a U.S. soldier, I am the sister of a U.S. soldier, I am the mother of a U.S. soldier, and I am the friend of many U.S. soldiers, and my pride for U.S. soldiers runs deep.

I thank you for your service.

My grandfather, father and brother have left this earth, and I honor them and hundreds of thousands of others who have served by asking everyone to respect, honor and be thankful for their sacrifice. 

Your freedom to read these very words was given to you by a soldier who deserves nothing less than honor and respect.

Every year on Veteran’s Day, I am reminded of a poem I learned in 6th grade:

The Soldier and God we both adore,

In times of need and not before,

But when the war is won

And the wrong is righted,

God is forgotten

And the Soldier is slighted.

Does that hit home for you?
It should. 
Let this holiday remind all of us that we are called to love and honor God and that means love and honor those who selflessly fight for the freedom to praise Him.
For those of you that are still serving, Be on your guard. Remain strong in the faith. Be brave.

And remember that you have people here that are praying for you every day.
