LOL! “there was some ‘boozing’ going on here at Amy’s place. Does she know about this?”
Tee hee. Nan, yes, Amy knows - she has a ‘cyber’ margarita, when she gets a chance. LOL!! The ‘cyber’ bar and drinks are safe and non-alcoholic. (And, it’s a good thing.)
I have been teary eyed all weekend - thinking of what my dear, late husband went through to get two purple hearts, and the Navy Cross, so many years ago.
I hope you get the chance to read through the posts today, and click on some of the links. There are some very touching stories and music.
You said, “off to hubby’s church for a Gospel sing.” I love Gospel music - I think I will say ‘good-night’ now, and turn on some Bill Gaither music. Soul Soothing music.
Night, Nan. I’m glad you had a busy, but spirit-filled day. ((((Hugs))))
Every Memorial Day, we remember those who have died in the service of their country. In the United States, a place where such remembrances carry a deep and emotional significance is Arlington National Cemetery, near Washington, DC. Arlington is a serious place where, due to the passing of aging war veterans and the ongoing conflicts around the world, there are currently about 25 military funerals every day.
This is particularly difficult for The Old Guardmembers of the 3rd US Infantry Regiment who serve at Arlington. It is their task to bear the bodies of the fallen and honor their sacrifice. The members of The Old Guard never forget the price of libertyfor they are reminded of it every day.
Believers in Christ have been given the Lords Supper as a reminder of what our freedom from sin cost the Lord Jesus Christ. As we partake of the bread and the cup, we fulfill His command to do this in remembrance of Me (1 Cor. 11:24). But in the sober celebration of the sacrifice of Christ there is joy. For we need not leave our remembrances at the Lords Table. Living our lives for the Savior can show the world that we will never forget the sacrifice He has made for us.
