A Blessed Memorial
LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ:
Matthew 26:6-13What this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her. Matthew 26:13
Certain names from the past can elicit a variety of responses. The mention of Hitler, for example, brings feelings of contempt. On the other hand, a great historical figure like Churchill brings a positive response. Even within the circle of our own acquaintances, we remember some individuals with thankfulness, while we think negatively of others whose lives were spent in selfish pursuits.
On Memorial Day in the US, we pause to honor those of past generations. While many stirring recollections flood our minds, we realize that the time will come when each of us will also be a memory. What will others recall of our words and deeds when they think of us?
I once read about James Lewis Pettigru. His life was so exemplary that after his death the community erected a tombstone in his honor inscribed with these words:
UNAWED BY OPINION, UNSEDUCED BY FLATTERY,
UNDISMAYED BY DISASTER, HE CONFRONTED LIFE
WITH COURAGE, AND DEATH WITH CHRISTIAN HOPE.
What will your memorial be? Determine by the grace of God to live for Him and give yourself to the needs of others. Then your testimony will become a blessing and inspiration to all who follow in your steps. Richard De Haan
What have you written on memorys page?
Deeds that were done in the Masters name?
Words that were spoken to spread His fame?
What have you written today? Anon.

In Flanders Fields By John McCrae
IN FLANDERS FIELDS
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow. Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from failing hands we throw The torch, be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

A Soldier's Prayer
Stay with me, God. The night is dark The night is cold. My little spark Of courage dies. The night is long Be with me, God, and make me strong I love a game. I love a fight I hate the dark. I love the light I love my child. I love my wife I am no coward. I love life
Life with its change of mood and shade I want to live. I'm not afraid But me and mine are hard to part Oh, unknown God, lift up my heart
You stilled the waters at Dunkirk And saved Your Servants. All Your work Is wonderful, dear God. You strode Before us down that dreadful road
We were alone and hope had fled We loved our country and our dead And could not shame them so we stayed The course and were not much afraid
Dear God that nightmare road! And then That sea! We got there - we were men My eyes were blind, my feet were torn My soul sang like a bird at dawn!
I know that death is but a door I know what we are fighting for Peace for the kids. Our brothers freed A kinder world. A cleaner breed
I'm but the son my mother bore A simple man and nothing more But God of strength and gentleness Be pleased to make me nothing less
Help me O God, when Death is near To mock the haggard face of fear That when I fall - if fall I must - My soul may triumph in the dust.
GOD BLESS OUR SOLDIERS~~ PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE!!
