Today we celebrate Memorial Day: a day that many will spend picnicking with friends and family. However, the reason that we can freely enjoy this holiday is because of our soldiers. I encourage you to say a prayer today remembering those who serve and those who have served. But, most of all, please pray for those families whose soldiers have paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom that we enjoy today.
As a military family, we come in contact with soldiers and their
families every day: brand new families beginning their military careers
together, seasoned military families who have weathered many deployments, and
retired military families who continue to serve soldiers even after they have
completed their service. Thank you to each and every one of you that has
selflessly served. And finally, I want to say thank you to my
husband for his dedication to serving soldiers as a chaplain. It is an honor to minister with you.
Thank you for this wonderful tribute to our soldiers. As another military wife, I appreciate everything you said!
ReplyDeletePlease thank your husband for us as well. I am so grateful for my husband's chaplain who served along side him for two years, in the U.S. and the Middle East. He was a true shepherd to his unit.
It is so encouraging to hear that your chaplain has been a source of strength for you and your family! Thank you for stopping by and sharing this. And, please know that we appreciate the sacrifice your family has made for our country.
