Memorial Day

Today, as I reflect on the many wars that have been fought for freedom, I am both humbled and somber.
I am grateful for the sacrifices made by so many people that I might be free, soldiers and civilians who have paid the ultimate price for liberty.
I am also saddened to think that we humans still have not decided to eliminate war as a means to resolving our differences.
I pray that we are able to enter into a new and sustained era of peace. I pray that we open our hearts to one another. I see a world where everyone is free to be who You created them to be, a world where peace and joy are enjoyed and shared by all. I see a world, where relationships between nations and between persons are based on love.
Bless those who have died for freedom and those who live for peace. Write Your truth upon our hearts. Thank You God.
