It’s funny how Memorial Day comes and goes each year and the different meanings it has attached to it. It’s the first day you can start wearing white shoes, it’s the day they run the Indy 500, it’s a long weekend, it’s the day the swimming pool opens for the year.
Maybe it would be good to make a new connection to Memorial Day. How about this:
On this Memorial Day weekend as we consider the sacrifice of the men and women who serve our country so bravely, what better gift can we give than that of working harder to create peace in our little corner of the world. Who knows, maybe it can spill over across borders and begin to create a wave that will put an end to the violence that leads to the unnecessary bloodshed of war.
Peace…
…in a heart
…in a home
…in a neighborhood
…in a community
…in a town
…in a country
…in the world
Yes, peace in the world
Begins in a single heart
