Last week we celebrated Memorial Day so we decided to post last week’s post today. Even though the holiday week is over we would like to take a moment to pause and reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day.
One of the most historical cemeteries in the nation is Arlington National Cemetery right outside of Washington, DC. As you go through Arlington there are thousands and thousands of white tombstones of soldiers who have died in service to our country. It makes me stop and remember that without their sacrifice we would not live in a country that has granted us the freedom to have organizations like Dive Deep, our churches, and other organizations that allow others to impact change in this generation.
Freedom never comes without a sacrifice. It was our soldiers that sacrificed their lives to allow us to be free to speak our mind and live how we would like to. It was Christ who died on the cross to free us from the bondage of sin and death to give us eternal life. Nothing comes without sacrifice so today let us remember the sacrifice of our soldiers, family members, friends and our Savior, Jesus. Take a moment to thank them for those sacrifices that they have given to us so that we can live a better life.
Thought this week: We challenge you to thank the people around you that have made sacrifices so that you may live in one of the greatest countries in the world. Start with the people closest to you, God, your parents and your friends.
Dive Deep,
KC
