thank you for your service

Jesus said...
"Greater love has no one that this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:12-13

Not all sayings are true, but i know two that are... many hands make light the work, and it takes an army to keep our country safe.  Today, Veteran's Day, we stop to remember and give thanks to the many fine soldiers who have sacrificed their time, and some even their life to protect us and our country.

What a joy to be one of many schools recognizing the importance of our Veterans.  A sense of gratefulness fills the air as we reflect through song, dance and verse on the continuous courage, strength and sacrifice by veterans to maintain our freedom.  What wonderful mentors for each and every one of us they are.

Father, Thank You for our soldiers. We humbly give thanks for having these special warriors in our schools today, whether in spirit or body. They represent true citizenship, commitment, unity and love for one another at its best. May Your grace and goodness always be with them.  Bless them and their families... as they have and continue to bless and sustain us and our freedom. 

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live, love and do like we believe it,
