May your Memorial Day be reflective of those who have made it possible.

Thank you to all military heroes, the men, women and their families who have, and continue to serve our country.

AMEN 🙏🏼

When you let God be your vindicator, He’ll take care of who’s trying to stop you. He’ll deal with the disrespect, the jealousy, the people who are doing you wrong. Don’t fight battles that don’t matter.
