Memorial Day weekend is a time that America sets apart to specifically honor those who have sacrificed their lives during active military service.  It is a time to recognize the glory in serving our country with everything they had.  I am in awe of those who are willing to step up and give their all for me, an insignificant American citizen so that I can maintain the freedoms and rights afforded to me by my government and forefathers.  Having national freedom is a temporal opportunity.  

The One Who sacrificed it all to save me from eternal damnation is the one that I want to honor every single day.  I am beyond grateful for what Jesus did for me on the cross.  He defines love as laying one's life down for our brothers and sisters.  It got me thinking.  Do I do that in my own home?  Do I show true love to my family in all that I do and say?  Do they feel loved by me and am I setting the example of love like Jesus did?  Luckily, Jesus also left us with some valuable information and a Helper to guide us as we fumble through trying to live out this type of love.  Come Holy Spirt!
