Living Life to the Full

This week, as we approachΒ Memorial Day, our New Testament “word of life” is simplyΒ life. It’s fitting, perhaps, that as we honor those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom, we also reflect on what it truly means to live. While it might seem strategic to drop the word β€œlife” on the Sunday before Memorial Day, sometimes, the divine calendar just works out!

Memorial Day is a complex day, isn’t it? It’s solemn, as we remember profound sacrifice, yet also a time of quiet rejoicing, knowing that lives were given so we might live freely and fully. This annual observance reminds us that life is costly and demands much from us.

Good morning! May you notice the kind influence of others in your life today. #MorningMug

I’m always grateful when I get to spend time with this man. Friendships like this are forged in the sorrows of life.
