Memorial Day

Please stop and remember all those who have served this great nation and the sacrifice they made.

Take a few minutes to acknowledge how we would not have the luxuries we have today if not for them.

Freedom is not free. It costs. They paid the ultimate price. For you and for me. For our families and friends. For our nation.

Remember... so they did not die in vain.

My Personal Journaling on Memorial Day (A Christian Perspective)

I am heavy hearted thinking of those who died for me and my freedom.

Earthly representatives of what Jesus Christ did for me. 

They sacrificed their lives so I might live. 

Oh, how I take this for granted. I do not mean to, but do.

Shouldn't I live a fuller, more abundant life because of their sacrifice? I do not want their sacrifice to be in vain.

Shouldn't I look at what Jesus Christ did for me in the same manner and live a fuller, more abundant life because of Him and how He died so I can live? 

And, isn't this what my journaling offers and helps me achieve?

Thoughts to ponder for a long, long time on this Memorial Day. 

Go ahead and journal your thoughts. 

Memorial Day: A Journal Prompt or Exercise

Remember those who have served in the U.S. Military and those who have given their lives for your freedom. After all, without their serving, we would have none.

Journal about them, this, and why and how you are grateful.

Count the blessings you have because of them.

Do you know someone who paid the cost? Remember them now. Journal.

If you do not know anyone personally who died, you can still take several moments today to remember, thank God, and journal about what they did for you and how they did it for your freedom.

What do you take for granted about your freedom?

People have given their lives for us and our freedom. This should make us live every moment differently. Shouldn't it?

Remember those families who have lost someone in war. This day is for them. Not for us.
