Be Thankful-11

 

 

Today is Veteran’s Day, a time to thank the men and women who served or are serving in the military. My father served in World War II and he is 89 years of age. My brother served in the Viet Nam War. My brother was a hero, he has suffered from Post Traumatic Stress to the war. He was not honored when he came home however, he was recently honored in Reno, Nevada. I am so proud to know my dad and my brother.

There are so many who fought for our freedom. They sacrificed their lives so that we have freedom. We have freedom in Christ.

The above verse says, “Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God.” How can we make thankfulness a sacrifice to God?

Father God, today I ask that we make today count. That we make thankfulness a way of life. I am in awe of your Majesty. Lord, I pray for those that are serving in the military that you keep them safe.

I am thankful for the people that are serving in the military.
