Father, there are so many grieving this weekend for loved ones who gave their lives for our country. Others are struggling with “what if” fears as their loved one serves in a country far from home. And still others daily face the pain of seeing a son or daughter, husband or wife, father or mother cope with a physical disability or PTSD.
Thank You, Father, for the assurance that You will not forget them or their families – or us.
I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.
Isaiah 49:15-16 (NIV)
Thank you for this reminder. As an Army Brat who grew up missing my daddy for years at a time, sending him letters and care packages, I am so thankful to those who remember his sacrifice, and to God for bringing him home to us after every conflict and giving me so many wonderful years with him.
