Good Morning, God
Lord, you have instructed us in your Word that when we have everything good that we have - particularly a land flowing with milk and honey, like we do have - that we never forget to give thanks to you for it.
Lord, what we have is due in a great part to those who have gone before us, and this is the weekend we remember those who have died giving their lives for the freedoms we enjoy and those of our family and friends who have helped us to enjoy living within the freedoms we enjoy.
So, Lord, it is good to give thanks to you this entire weekend for the people who have made our blessings flow. Let us remember that true freedom comes at a great sacrifice, that great wealth comes at a great cost, that true joy comes not from what we get, but what was given, and true love comes not from how many people love us but from how many people we love - and how much we love you. Help us remember these things, Lord.
In Jesus name, Amen
