Memorial Day

The Lord keeps impressing on me how important "remembering" is. Throughout the Bible, when the Lord has delivered, blessed, healed, and saved he tells us to "remember" those events regularly, and teach them to our children.
Let's teach our children the history of what happened in the forming of Memorial Day. Memorial Day began by honoring the thousands that fought and died in the Civil war to free the slaves, and continued as others also laid down their lives to protect our freedom. 

John 15:12-13 ESV "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. (13) Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
