Memorial Day 2013

Today is the day set aside in our nation that we get to take a moment and thank our soldiers and appreciate those who lost their lives while serving our country. The USA has been so very blessed these 237 years. Our founding fathers went through a lot and sacrificed so much so that we might have freedom. I appreciate every man and woman who are still doing their best to defend the rights we have. America is obviously not what it used to be, but we can pray that our freedom and justice for all will remain for a very long time.
Here is a chapter in Psalms that I found appropriate for today. May God continue to bless this great nation. May We the People continue to give Him the glory for it all!
"May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!" (Psalm 67)
No matter how many soldiers we may have striving to defend our freedom, we must always remember that it is our Heavenly Father who, after all, is the One who blesses us and grants us with victory and peace.
"Give us help from trouble, for the help of man is useless. Through God we will do valiantly, for it is He who shall tread down our enemies." (Psalm 60:11-12)
God bless America!
