Patriot’s Day
Today we remember.
We remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the courage of ordinary people who stepped forward in extraordinary moments.
We also remember the firefighters, police officers, first responders, military members, medical personnel, and countless others who responded to evil by putting the lives of others ahead of their own.
Jesus said: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” - John 15:13 NIV
On this Patriot’s Day, may we honor the sacrifice of others by choosing to live with that same spirit of love—not only in moments of crisis, but in the everyday opportunities God gives us to serve, encourage, protect, forgive, and care for one another.
May we remember with gratitude those who sacrificed for us and others.
May we pray for those who still carry the wounds of that day.
And may we follow Jesus by becoming people who put love into action, even in the face of evil.
“Greater love has no one than this…”
