Memorial Day...A day to remember

We set asideMemorial Day Each and every yearTo honor those who gave their livesDefending what we hold dear.In all the dark and deadly wars,Their graves prove and remind us,Our brave Americans gave their allTo put danger far behind us.They made the ultimate sacrificeFighting for the American way;We admire them and respect themOn every Memorial Day.By Joanna Fuchs

This Memorial Day is especially hard for me as it marks the two month anniversary of my Grampa's passing...his service in WW2 and his zeal for his country and family he passed down to all of his kids and grandkids.  I haven't been able to write about him here on my blog as it's still hard to believe he's not here anymore. But praise God for His timing...the day before Grampa died he accepted Christ as his Savior through my Dad's final words with him. We all rejoiced in the knowledge that we will see him again! After 19 years of prayer God opened the door and welcomed His son home...
Memorial Day is so meaningful...it reminds me of the sacrifice Christ made on the cross...Americans have died to keep me safe, to keep their families safe, to keep their country safe...God Bless America!
