Memorial Day is off to a fantastic start.\u00a0 The weather is summery and the early, golden light shines across the lush, neatly cut lawn. A robin, a grackle and a sparrow cautiously approach the bits of broken up biscuit I tossed on the grass.\u00a0 The sky is clear and faultless blue.\u00a0The calm\u00a0 seems unreal.\u00a0 It will be a fine day to work on the garden and go for an ice cream.<\/p>\n
And, it being Memorial Day, I take some time to honor those who died in military service and how their sacrifice affected their families. Memorial Day isn’t personal for me. But for many people it’s a reminder of a lost son or daughter, brother or sister, gone in their prime, their lives cut short.<\/p>\n
God Bless all who gave their lives serving the country and who’s families still bear the burden.<\/p>\n
Thank you and amen.<\/p>\n
