These All Died in Faith!
Hebrews 11:13
None of us can claim our
achievements are the results of our efforts alone but the sacrifices of others
on our behalf as well. We are living in an environment created and sustained by
others. Who we are is greatly affected by what they have done. Today we pause
for a moment to remember those who sacrificed for us.
Humanity can almost be said to be divided into two classes: those who
live the full, rich life, and those who die to make the full life possible for
others.
None of us can claim our achievements are the
results of our efforts alone but the sacrifices of others on our behalf as
well. .
There
Are Heroes of Freedom John 15:13
May
we never abuse the liberty we have received by selfish indulgence on pleasures
that weaken the moral strength of this great nation.
To
show true honor is to be willfully and emotionally grateful and individually
humbled by their act, gift or person.
There
Are Heroes of History Philippians 2:3-4
For
some, the sacrifice of pleasure, freedom, position, or wealth was itself a type
of dying for the sake of a principle or the good of those who followed.
There
Are Heroes of Faith Hebrews 11:15-16
There
Are Heroes of Life - 2
Timothy 1:5
Heroes
in our lives are those who believed in us enough to sacrifice something of
themselves in the hope that our lives would be benefited.
Real
life heroes care enough to get down into the middle of our life crises and
carry us until we can walk again.
Memorial
Day should take us to the graves where gratitude can be shown by honoring their
lives with our memories.
Heroes
of Tomorrow - Hebrews 12:1
“Will
anyone say I was their hero?”
The
requirements for being a hero are more about your heart than your hands.
Dealing
with the Loss of Our Heroes 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Separation
is one of the greatest fears man faces.
The
truth is that the loss of one we love is at best a temporarily debilitating
experience.
Grief
is the one pain that heals all others.
Remember
what these have done and who they were.
Never forget!
God’s grace is sufficient to meet our every need.
