t’s important to remember, lest we forget. It is amazing how trivial things can take a prominent place in our minds while meaningful events can slip away. How many times in the Old Testament does it tell about building a memorial for an event (like when Joshua led the Israelites across the Jordan River on dry land) so the people wouldn’t forget and it would be a stimulus for the children to ask what had happen there. God wants us to remember what He has done for us. He wants us to remember the small things, the big things, the major miracle things! We should be making our own personal memorials, even if they’re only in a notebook, to remind us of all He has done. While it may only be once a year, so too, it’s good to remember what countless men and women have given to preserve our freedom, something too many take for granted. Take time to thankfully pray for all those who died that you may be free. Pray daily thanking God for all the memorials in your life. Thank Him for the ultimate memorial, the cross, on which Jesus provided access to spiritual freedom forever! Memorial Day, memorial every day, something we should celebrate, something we should honor.
