One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church.
The plaque was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it.
The seven year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up, stood beside him and said quietly, “Good morning, Alex.”
Good morning, Pastor,” replied the young man, still focused on the plaque.
“Pastor McGhee, what is this?” Alex asked.
“Well, son, it’s a memorial to all the men and women who have died in the service.”
Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque.
Little Alex’s voice was barely audible when he finally managed to ask, “Which service pastor, 9 or 10:45 ?
We Remember those who sacrifice.
Memorial Day is a time each year when we pause to remember those who gave their lives for family, friends and freedom.
We honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
One week after the Pearl Harbor attack President Franklin D. Roosevelt said,
“Those who long enjoy such privileges that we enjoy forget in time that others have died to win them.”
Freedom is never really free; it’s almost always bought with the blood of patriots.”
FDR
Memorial Day is about honoring those who have sacrificed everything to give us the freedom we enjoy.
This is one of the things that we still do right on most places in our country… at least now.
We give honor to those who deserve to be honored…
Military Members who fought and fight to protect our way of life.
First Responders who protect our freedoms here at home.
Parents who sacrifice so much to make sure their children are raised properly.
Civil Authorities who have the responsibility to govern our cities, our states and our nation.
Elderly who have sacrificed to give us a better opportunity than they had at the American Dream.
Since it’s Memorial Day, We want not just honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, but to honor those who have served or are serving in the military.
Have veterans stand.
Have people stand who have a family member or friend who served and paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Stand if you have a family member living or deceased who serve in the military.
Someone wrote,
It is the VETERAN, not the preacher,
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the VETERAN, not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the VETERAN, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the VETERAN, not the politician,
Who has given us the right to vote
We honor you today.
Honor means to hold someone in high esteem or to give them great respect.
While today we honor our fallen and current veterans, the Bible expands honor.
We honor our soldiers & First Responders who sacrifice everything.
We should honor or respect those who have fought and died to give us the freedom to complain about our gov.
Most nations in our world, if you talked about the leadership like so many do on twitter, in the news, etc, you would be executed.
We honor those who fought for our freedom.
They sacrificed time and energy to train… time away from their families while deployed… and many sacrificed their lives.
In the OT, when the armies of Israel would win in battle they would march back to the cheering crowds at home.
A friend of mine was coming back from Vietnam.
He landed and was walking through the airport and noticed a kid smiling and waving at him.
It felt good for a minute then the mother of that child grabbed the child by the arm and drug him away from this Veteran, fresh from the war, drug him away all the while giving my friend a look he did not deserve.
You see, the news media call our soldiers baby killers and all sorts of derogatory names during the war and after the war.
This is a period of our history I am ashamed of.
But today we want to honor those who sacrificed a lot so we could have freedom.
Listen to me.
I don’t care who you are and where you stand on war.
Our warriors deserve honor and to be treated with honor.
If you don’t like a war, take it up with the leaders who sent them into war, but NEVER take it out on the warriors.
Our nation should be ashamed of how we treated Vietnam vets...
Honor our soldiers.
We want to honor those who are older.
You might be old if...
You remember penny candy.
You ever used green stamps
You bought gas at .30 per gallon.
If it takes two tries to get off the couch.
If when you bend over to tie your shoes, you look around to make sure that there is nothing else to do while you are down there.
Your knees buckle but your belt will not.
It looks like you have more patience, but actually, you just don’t care anymore.
You confuse a clear conscience with a bad memory.
Your pharmacists knows your name when you walk in.
Your contacts mostly begin with Dr.
Your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.
You stop searching for the meaning of life to focus on finding your car keys.
You hear your favorite song on the elevator.
The candles on your birthday cake cost more than the cake.
It’s okay to get older… we don’t have much choice.
Solomon said …
secretary said on men grey looks dignified… on you it just looks old.
Too many people are cast away by society then they grow older.
(Nursing Homes) There was a time in our society that children ate last… My friends and I at the Milner’s eating in the basement.
Once our society was moving towards pushing people out of companies when they aged.
Now there is a move to pull them back and keep them because of their experience.
We want to honor civil leaders.
I do believe that we are under no requirement by God to obey a law or policy of the government that clearly violates scripture.
Those causes will be rare.
Respect everyone.
Give value to other people.
We need to be value adders to people in our lives.
When Peter told the readers of this book to respect the government, he was speaking of the Roman Emperor Nero, who was a wicked person and killed Christians trying to eradicate them.
He did not mean that we are to violate our consciences… remember Peter said
But he obviously believed that for the most part Christians could live according to the law of their land.
Today, there are Christians all over the world and some live in freedom while others are persecuted.
We just need to make sure that when we are persecuted, it’s because of Jesus … not bad behavior.
We should pray for our nation and our leaders.
Here in the USA, we have a unique form of government.
We are to respect these offices.
It may seem hard to do, but we must pray for our leaders.
We want to honor our parents.
