Veteran's Day

I was thinking this morning about our Veterans and what they have done for me and our country. We are so blessed to have the men and women over history and and in the present serve us and give us the freedom we enjoy everyday. As I was thinking about this a verse popped into my mind that these folks fulfill in their service to this country. Here it is:





Matthew 22:39 (New King James Version)

39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’



This is where Jesus told us the second greatest commandment. Our men and women of uniform perform this command everyday. The reason they serve is for the love of their country and their love of fellow man. Thus they are living this command of loving their neighbor as their selves. When we think about what our military folks are doing it should make us here at home serve one another out of love. It only makes sense doesn't it?



So this Veteran's Day, I just want to say thank you to our hero's. God bless you and thank for our freedom!



Tom
