Today’s the day we honor all those who didn’t come home. This is not 4th of July. It’s not a celebration - but rather a day which reminds us the true cost of freedom.
The land of the free because of the brave. Wishing everyone a safe & meaningful Memorial Day.
🇺🇸 God Bless America.
I wish all who celebrate St. Patrick’s Day knew the true meaning of the holiday. It wasn’t established to celebrate leprechauns, the color green, or getting drunk. It was to honor and celebrate the life of a man who preached Christ throughout Ireland. His heart was focused on what matters most.
St. Patrick once wrote these words:
“Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.”
"Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature & complete, not lacking anything" James 1: 2-4 ☀️🌧️
It’s no accident that as Linus recites scripture & says, “Fear not…”, he drops his security blanket. He always had his blanket. Powerful.
Charles Schwartz knew then. “If we don’t do it, who will?”
We are still faced with that same question every day, even more so now than ever.
There was nothing like a quiet evening with the family and sitting down to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas. There still isn’t. ❤️
