Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. (John 15:13)

Memories memorialized: In deeds. In minds. In hearts. On gravestones.
During this time of year, Memorial Day, when we share a special time as a nation to remember those who served our country, some giving the ultimate sacrifice of their lives and all sacrificing in ways that changed them forever–
LET US NOT FORGET.
***********************
During every time of year, every month and every day, let us always remember the One who gave the ultimate sacrifice for all humankind. Memorialized in communion on the Lord’s Day, remembered in our words during prayer, thankful for in our hearts when we consider the blessings in our lives, reflected upon in our minds when we realize we are the ones changed forever by His sacrifice, as we can now live eternally with Him–
LET US NEVER FORGET.
************************
During each and every day, let us remember our duty to sacrifice to God, first and always, and to sacrifice for others.
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. (Hebrews 13:15)
And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.(Hebrews 13:16)
1Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:1-2)
LET US NOT FORGET.
