Happy Memorial Day

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."  John 15:13

Thank you to everyone who has fought for our country and served in the military!! We have thought about you all day today and truly thank you for what you have done and are doing!!!


There is another memorial day, however, that is much more significant than the Memorial Day which we celebrate every year. This memorial day commemorates One who not only gave His life for his friends, but also for His enemies ( Romans 5:7, 8). This memorial day is not to remember those who have fallen in battle, but One who was triumphant over death ( Colossians 2:15). This memorial day doesn't begin a single season of the year, but begins every week of the year. This memorial day is observed by those who are faithful Christians upon the first day of the week, every week. What is this day of which I speak? It is Sunday, the first day of the week ( Mark 16:2, 9, Acts 20:7), the Lord's day ( Revelation 1:10).



Yesterday we went to this square in Portland.  It has a little wading pool and some fountains.  The kids had a blast.  It is going to be fun to go back there when it gets hot and let the kids go in their bathing suits!!
