Today is Memorial Day. Alot of people are off from work. Many times we Americans use today as a day to get together with our families, to barbeque, eat watermelon, go rafting on the river, or go to the beach and "celebrate" Memorial Day. As someone who has had a family member killed in action and know several families that have endured this as well, please take a moment to pray for those Gold Star Families. It is because these men and women fought for our freedom over the years, and have paid the ultimate sacrifice while doing so, that we stand free today. Thank you Father God for those who have sacrificed their lives to protect us. I pray that you give strength, peace and comfort to those families as only You can. And thank you Dear Lord for Your sacrifice on the cross that we may have eternal salvation. And God please bless America with revival of Your people! Seek Him and His plan for your life today! 😊🇺🇸
