Let us all Remember

One of the greatest gifts that God has given us is the ability to remember.  It often is a double edged sword because it can bring us pleasurable memories as well as painful ones.  Depending on your view of life one either dwells upon the good or bad in life. 

This weekend we are celebrating Memorial Day.  A time to remember loved ones gone on before, those who have paved the way for our freedom with their lives and to honor them in many different ways.  As a preacher I continue to have freedom of speech today because of the lives of patriots gone on before. 

So, this weekend let us all remember those who have given us the gift of freedom.  May we honor them as we should and as they deserve, but let us not fall into the trap of only remembering on this special holiday.  May we do it with each gospel tract we pass out. With each door that we knock upon to tell the dwellers there that there was one who paid the ultimate price for not only their freedom but for the deliverance from eternal punishment.  The greatest memorial is the cross of Calvary.  And Jesus is the greatest gift that has ever been given. 

As a former president so eloquently stated, "Freedom is not Americas gift to this world, freedom is Gods gift to all mankind." 
Because of Christ we are free.  Let us remember Him and Honor Him this weekend and every day of our lives.
