Today! Today is a moment on reflection of our privileged life, no matter our race, gender or creed. While we are in the middle of an era where everyone wants to be right, and are discarding human decency, empathy, sympathy, let today remind each of us individually the many estimated 1.3 million perished for our freedom. Some of them were loved ones to each of us, but the majority were complete strangers to us all. May we respect and honor their last breaths today, by living peacefully together.
James 4:1 - "What causes quarrels and fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?"
Heavenly Father,
As we celebrate the lives that perished providing our freedoms, please keep in our hearts and mind that our freedoms came with great cost. Lord, please remind us to live peacefully in your likeness so no life lost in conflict and in war was in vain.
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Amen.
