Memorial Day

As we were in Wisconsin for Memorial day, we spent the early part of the day at a memorial service in a small town where some family members are buried.

Cemetery - where relatives remember with love those who have gone before us.



Pea Ridge Battlefield, AR - site of a Civil War Battle



As we remember these family members, as well as those who have lost their lives serving our country so that we are able to be free to worship as we please, always pray for them every day. I think of how often we forget all of those who fought for our freedom - from the Revolutionary War to all of the present day conflicts. As we mourn those who have gone on to the Lord before us, let us remember God's comforting words:
"As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you.... Isaiah 66:13
