Memorial Day: More Than Just a Beach Day!


Memorial Day is more than just a weekend where we head out to the beaches to enjoy a time in the sun with family and friends.  It is a holiday to honor those who have served this country bravely and have given their lives to maintain the freedom we enjoy.

For those who have lost a soldier it is a day of both honor and sorrow.  They are honored for their service and their courage and remembered with great sorrow for the loss of a spouse, parent, child, family, and friend they love and miss.



Before you head out to celebrate this weekend, take a moment and pray for the families of our fallen soldiers, for those who are at this very moment serving our country and those who are in preparation to do so.

Prayer is the greatest gift you can give in return for all the sacrifices both the soldier and their families make to keep our country free.  When a soldier deploys it affects the family.  Spouses are left behind to hold the fort at home with the children.

As an Army wife I know what it is to be missing my husband and praying that the LORD will bring him home safely.  I thank God for giving me the strength to endure our separation and for returning him home to us.

There is  power in  prayer!  HAVE A BLESSED MEMORIAL DAY!! AND THANK A VETERAN TODAY!

Personalized Prayer for Your Soldier:  Psalm 91 


1 _____________ dwells in the shelter of the Most High (he) will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, “He is_______'s refuge and (his) fortress, (his) God, in whom (he) trust.” 3 Surely he will save __________ from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover _________ with his feathers, and under his wings __________ will find refuge; his faithfulness will be ___________'s shield and rampart. 5 _________ will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at ___________'s side, ten thousand at (his) right hand, but it will not come near (him). 8 ___________ will only observe with (his) eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. 9 If (he) say, “The LORD is my refuge,” and (he) make the Most High (his) dwelling, 10 no harm will overtake _____________, no disaster will come near (his) tent. 11 For he will command his angels concerning ________to guard (him) in all (his) ways; 12 they will lift _____________ up in their hands, so that (he) will not strike (his) foot against a stone. 13 _________ will tread on the lion and the cobra; _________will trample the great lion and the serpent. 14 “Because __________ loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 15 ______________ will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with ____________ in trouble, I will deliver ______________and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show __________ my salvation.”

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." ~Philippians 4:6
Do not lean on your own understanding, but trust in the Lord." (Proverbs 3:5)

2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect (your husband) from the evil one..
