Hallow their memory—maintain the distinctions:

Veterans’ Day is for all veterans.
Armed Forces’ Day is for those serving.
Memorial Day is ONLY for the fallen!

[God luvs America]

Hate to say this but they’re doing a great job destroying the National Memorial Day concert, now on PBS

Blessed Memorial Day to you all as we remember the Fallen.

Thanks for the post Mom!

It is a good reminder.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman...

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, God luvs America...I’ve been disappointed with the National Memorial Day concert for the last few years. Your assessment is not encouraging for this year. *so sad*

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[God luvs America]

Thanks Kathy. My wife- who was my girlfriend at the time- and I, attended this concert in 1997. It was a life changing experience. Now everything has an underlying political agenda, even this one time sacred concert

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...you and Tippy have a chance to get out and explore?

Any Memorial Day events in your area?

Healing for the Whole World

Read: 2 Corinthians 5:11–19

God . . . reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:18

Tucked into a remote gorge in western Slovenia, a secret medical facility (Franja Partisan Hospital) housed an extensive staff that tended to thousands of wounded soldiers during World War II—all the while staying hidden from the Nazis. Though avoiding detection from numerous Nazi attempts to locate the facility is in itself a remarkable feat, even more remarkable is that the hospital (founded and run by the Slovenia resistance movement) cared for soldiers from both the Allied and Axis armies. The hospital welcomed everyone.

Scripture calls us to help the whole world to be spiritually healed. This means we need to have compassion for all—regardless of their views. Everyone, no matter their ideology, deserves Christ’s love and kindness. Paul insists that Jesus’ all-embracing love “compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all” (2 Corinthians 5:14). All of us suffer the sickness of sin. All of us are in desperate need of the healing of Jesus’ forgiveness. And He’s moved toward all of us in order to heal us.

Then, in a surprising move, God entrusted us with “the message of reconciliation” (v. 19). God invites us to tend to wounded and broken people (like us). We participate in healing work where the sick are made healthy through union with Him. And this reconciliation, this healing, is for all who will receive it. — Winn Collier

Who are the people you think God won’t (or shouldn’t) heal? Where might He call you to be a reconciler and a healer?

God, I need healing. And so it shouldn’t surprise me that everyone else needs healing too. Help me be part of Your healing of others.

Bible in a year: 2 Chronicles 10–12; John 11:30–57

Good evening, JJ...as each year passes, the reminder becomes more important.

Hope all is well in your part of the world. Hot?

Heat wave here...73 right now and headed to almost 80 later in the week, and we haven’t had any rain yet.

[mountainlion]

Had a first cousin killed August 27,1776 in the battle of Long Island and many more since. It is sad at how many gave it all up for what we have become.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I always record the concerts and watch multiple times...but that creeping underlying agenda is taking the pride and pleasure out of it.

What a fantastic time you and your girlfriend (later wife) must have had. The “audience” always seems to be having a wonderful time enjoying the music for the occasion, and enjoying being among fellow patriots.

[God luvs America]

The audience was a large part of the show. 100,000 people. It looks like they limited it to three down this year!!!

[real saxophonist]

To the best of my knowledge, nobody I knew in the Marine Corps (late 80s-early 90s) was a KIA.

I know there are a couple of people here who lost a son, but I didn't personally know anyone.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Did you get some more deck time today? It’s a gorgeous day up there.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope your resting is going well with lots of sunshine. We are mid 70s now and headed for almost 80. Sure wish it would rain!

Family and grands over this weekend?
