I am grateful that every year our country honors those who have given their lives in order for me and my family to live in freedom. The word "memorial" literally is defined as "something established to remind one of a person or event." The greatest privilege that our freedom has afforded us is the opportunity to freely preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to take His message around the world. The thought occurred to me a few weeks ago that I am grateful that we are on the "sending" end of the spectrum and not the "receiving" end of the spectrum. With all of the issues and challenges that we face as a nation, we should each thank God that we still have the liberty to preach the gospel of Christ! This is more than a day away from work and more than a opportunity to see friends, it is a day that should burn in our hearts the grace that God continues to shed upon our nation. So take advantage of your liberty today friend, grab a stack of gospel literature and share with your world the greatest Memorial Day message that someone needs to hear, Jesus Christ and Him crucified!
