"Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.โ John 15:13
Freedom is never free. Itโs a precious gift. And often, it comes at a very great cost. Through the years of our nationโs history, countless brave men and women have given their lives in order to protect our country and to allow us to live free today.
But often, we may forget. Itโs easy to take for granted what weโve always had. And most of us alive today have always enjoyed wonderful freedom in our lives, and in our nation. Yet somewhere along the way, many others have paid and sacrificed dearly for the liberties we enjoy so freely today.
This is a day to be thankful.
To remember.
For all those who have protected our nation and it's freedoms and for the men and women in uniform, together, we say โThank You.โ
Thereโs great power and strength in our LIBERTY AND FREEDOM because of these things:
- Thereโs power in unity and standing strong together.
- Thereโs power in rising up in courage, pursuing victory for what is right at home and abroad.
- Thereโs power in knowing that God Himself fights on our behalf.
- Thereโs power in prayer and in the One who sets us truly free.
May we never forget the cost of it all, the great price that was paid for our freedom, and the courage that our nation was founded on as "One Nation Under God."
Thank you to those who paved the way for our liberty, to those who have fought hard, and were willing to pay such a great price.
May He help us to always stand strong for what we know is true. May He help us to walk in love. May He help us to live brave. For all those who wear the uniform today and for those who have gone before, we pause to prayโฆand give thanksโฆand to remember.
The Lord bless you greatly for your service and sacrifice.
And may God bless America!๐บ๐ธ

Dear God, thank you for brave souls who have given their lives, so that we can live free. Today, we remember, and are incredibly grateful for their courage and love. Please bless all those who serve today and their families, all those who have suffered great loss, or have made tremendous sacrifices on behalf of our nation. Cover them in your great care and protection. Thank you most of all for the gift of our Savior, who gave His life to offer ultimate freedom for all. Help us to live deeply changed and affected by the love and sacrifice of Christ on our behalf. Thank for setting us free! In Jesusโ Name, Amen
