Happy Memorial Day

 

Good morning and Happy Memorial Day!  I woke up shortly after 6 a.m. to coffee that has already been made and a dog begging to go outside.  My husband and children have the day off and the guys already left because my son is running in a Memorial Day parade.  Today will just be a day to catch up on housework and yard work as I think of the lives lost in battle.  If it weren't for them I wouldn't have the freedom to live as I do.  I am thankful to be an American, today and every day.  

I was sad to wake up this morning to find out that the patriarch to the Duck Dynasty show and family, Phil Robertson has passed away.  He was certainly a man of God who helped many others.  May he rest in peace.  

I have so much to catch up on but for now I'm going to enjoy this cup of coffee and read my Bible with prayer time while the house is still quiet.  My daughter has yet to wake up.  

Hope your Memorial Day weekend is going well.  Remember, it's not about the barbecues and fun.  It's about those who lost their lives so we can have the fun.  Thank you, heroes!
