It is so important to think about the reason behind Memorial Day (in Canada it is Rememberance Day, in November). It is a chance to remember the sacrifices that others have made, and also to remember all that we have to be grateful for.

What a beautiful post Allie. I can’t express just how grateful I feel for all the soldiers and countless others who serve our country. Their sacrifice and service are what make our country such a beacon of freedom and opportunity.

Those things that are worth living for are worth dying for, and we are indebted to those who have paid the ultimate price as well as those who willingly take that risk to preserve our freedom.
Thank you for guiding our minds and hearts where they should be on this important holiday, Allie.

Thanks, Allie – these are wonderful quotes and each directs our thoughts to solid reflection on this incredible nation which God has granted to us. While family get-togethers are wonderful and happy times, Memorial Day is a good time to reflect upon the principles which have made this a great nation – may we have the courage to pray for sound leaders and good men to lead us.

Thank you for redirecting my thoughts upward and outward on this day before Memorial Day! Thanks be to God for giving our forefathers and us this great land as a stewardship. I too love the last quote and others as well. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” Galatians 5:1.

A beautiful sentiment we all share, to live in such a glorious land that God Himself provided, to enjoy freedom – from tyranny of every sort – religious, governmental, educational, judicial and every encumbrance that would prohibit this wonderful gift He freely desired for this country!
We pray with fervent and grateful hearts to lift our love for this great land in THANKSGIVING TO OUR CREATOR and hope this country will have a great awakening to these gifts no other country enjoys, and remember all those who fought and died to preserve these benefits. Thank you for your wonderful post today and we join with you to celebrate and never forget these brave men and women who fought for this country and their families who participated in this great endeavor.

God HAS blessed America! May we always remember our Godly foundation and pray to return to those principles. So many thanks to our men and women who have fought to keep us free!

“In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me.
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!”
