Oops! I missed it! Yesterday's blog should have been today's, and today's should have been tomorrow's! Goodness! My calendar needs a little course correction!
But here's something that NEVER needs correcting — our gratitude for America's veterans!
Yesterday, was Veterans Day! And while we set aside November 11th to honor our military heroes, shouldn't EVERY day be a day of thanksgiving for those who served and sacrificed for our freedom?
I'm especially proud of my Carl, who served over 21 years in the United States Army! When I look at him, I don't just see my handsome husband. I see a patriot who answered his country's call!
Sunday, in our Lamplighters Bible Class, we honored Virginia Kreimeyer, a United States Air Force veteran. What a privilege to hear her heartfelt prayer for our living veterans and for the families of those who gave their lives in service to our country.
FREEDOM ISN'T FREE!
President John F. Kennedy challenged Americans: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
Our veterans ANSWERED that call!
Jesus said, "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)
So, let's do more than wave flags one day a year! Let's shake a veteran's hand, pray for their families, advocate for their care, and teach our children what those stars and stripes REALLY represent!
And when we sing our National Anthem, may our hearts swell with gratitude for those who stood watch while we slept peacefully.
To my Carl and every American veteran — THANK YOU! WE HONOR YOU! WE REMEMBER!
God bless our veterans, their families, and the United States of America!
Because gratitude doesn't end when Veterans Day does! 🇺🇸
