Memorial Day

As I sit at home nursing a cold/flu, yes it's my turn to get sick now, I also sit and think of all the selfless people in the world who gave their lives for our country and for their faith. This weekend is a time to not just think about ourselves and what we have or do not have but what others don't have and only wish they did. There are so many people in the world who are so much less fortunate, yet we complain about so many little things in our lives. We need to take time and talk to our children about how fortunate and blessed they are to have a roof over their heads, food in the refridgerator and clothes for every day of the week, even if they aren't the most popular brand and maybe are a little worn. If it were not for the people who have fought for our freedom, made sacrifices and those that have died for it then we would not have these choices or the freedom to own a homes and live our lives the way we chose. Take time to thank a soldier, don't be afraid to greet and smile at a homeless person maybe even buy them a meal, you never know who they may be, I often think "could that be Jesus?" you just never know. Have a great holiday weekend and may God bless you and your family.
