Happy Monday!
In the U.S. this is Memorial Day, which inspires our word-of-the-week …
Memory
Memorial Day is about remembering, and thanking, those who raised their hands and went to places and situations of service. We rightfully associate the holiday with military service and sacrifice, but we also must honor those who chose other forms and arenas of service.
I believe that the Prince of Peace will one day end the struggle, suffering, and conflict that characterizes so much of this broken world. Until that day, I’m grateful for those who willingly serve in places I’ll never see and don’t have the courage to go.
I hope our memory of those folks extends beyond the ceremony of a single holiday.
Have a great week!
