(Photo credit: Wikipedia)I will always thank the Lord;
I will never stop praising him.
Psalm 34:1
Good News Translation (GNT)
In the United States Memorial Day is a day when we give honor to those who have helped keep our nation free and to preserve our way of life. Many have died and made tremendous sacrifices fighting for the ideals upon which this great country was founded.
This week-end we give thanks to all the men and women who died for our freedom. We should also remember to thank the founding fathers who set the course for our nation. Thanks could also be offered for the inventors and creators who made our country an innovator that contributed to the betterment of our lives and made the U.S. an economic leader. And let us not forget the teachers, medical personnel, clergy, and all of those in the public and private sector who make our country run smoothly and provide for a safe, secure, and comfortable living environment.
Then we should remember all of the responsible and dedicated parents, grandparents, family members, and neighbors who give us support and sense of community. Perhaps we need to thank everyone in this great country for what good they have done or what they are capable of doing one day.
Have I forgotten to thank anyone? Who do you think deserves a deep expression of gratitude?

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
