Happy Memorial Day
We pray today, Lord:
Remembering those who died, who've passed from this life to the next to meet, at last, their Maker, you, the lover of their souls...
We pray today, Lord:
Remembering those gone long before, marked with signs of faith, marked as yours in ways unknown to us and others grief...
We pray today, Lord:
Remembering those who gave their lives without a thought of self, who laid down all that we might stand in freedom dearly won...
We pray today, Lord:
Remembering selfless souls and purpled hearts who marched with courage sure and brave down roads we'd dare not tread...
We pray today, Lord:
Remembering love in sacrifice so freely, fully given but easily forgotten by just the ones for whom the gift was made.
We pray today, Lord:
We offer you thanks and praise, our memories of those who loved by giving all they had for all who stand in need...
Good God of Monday mornings, receive our praise and prayer and be with us this Memorial Day and everyday.
