Memorial Day serves to remind us of all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to serve our country. It is amazing to think we have World War II veterans among us who remember those they served with. There are veterans of Korea, Vietnam and Iraq. All have memories of some they served with. We have active duty military we count among our church family. They serve in a long tradition of those willing to sacrifice that we may enjoy freedoms.
It is an extension of the day to remember family and friends whose lives we celebrate. Memorial Day may lead to Decoration Day. Do take the time to remember and be thankful.
We had a full week at church. We had a Celebration of Life and a Celebration of Marriage. I saw an 11 day old baby this morning! We shared the news that our own Britton Fields completed Pastor's Licensing School and will be appointed to serve at PWUMC at annual conference.
I had a great blackberry streusel muffin this morning. If you have not stopped by the cafe on a Sunday you are missing out.
As usual -never take this for granted - we had great music today. We had joyful celebration and meaningful reflection.
It was a blessed day.
It was a good day to remember.
It was a good day to celebrate our faith in Jesus Christ.
I hope you've had a good day too. And have a blessed holiday weekend.
