Happy Memorial Day!

A day to remember those who have fought and died to keep our country free and safe.

*

Several rattling thoughts for the day:

* Our coins say "In God We Trust";

may that remain true in our nation; let's pray that it becomes more and more of a reality in the lives of all of us!

*

We also say:

"United States of America";

sometimes it feels more like the Un-tied States--or divided states--of America.

Let's pray that one-by-one we can become more and more 'united!

*

God has blessed America since its beginning; this Memorial Day, let's ask Him to continue to bless our country in the future:

God Bless America

By Irving Berlin

"God bless America, land that I love

Stand beside her and guide her

Through the night with the light from above.

"From the mountains to the prairies

To the oceans white with foam

God bless America, my home sweet home

God bless America, my home sweet home.
