More than all else, keep watch over your heart, since here are the wellsprings of life.
Proverbs 4:23
The New Jerusalem Bible (New York: Doubleday, 1985)
It is a sadness of heart on this holiday, more than joy, for the loss of so many to the horrors of war, evil actions, public service or sickness. Pray for them, that they were not lost in vain. I cannot but wonder what the world would be like had they lived a full life, giving all they had and enjoyed what the good Lord graced them with. Life lost is a loss for the world in what could have been a benefit for the world. There is a hole left behind where that life was, a piece of the fabric of life cut short. The only repair is the memory of their existence in those who knew them and will continue to remember them throughout their life. Remember those who gave their all so that we could enjoy our life
May the good Lord bless you and keep you safe.
Remember to "Always Love The Details."
Remembering all who paid the ultimate price for our freedoms. Blessings, Jim!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post...lest we forget! Thank you for sharing, and God bless you.
ReplyDeleteYes, they gave their lives, and there are those still laying down their lives for freedom, no matter how they perceive 'freedom'. War really has no victors, only violence.
