HONOR

to HONOR
  • honesty, fairness or integrity in one's beliefs or actions, "a man of honor"
  • high respect, as for worth, merit or rank, "to be held in honor"
  • such respect manifested, "memorial in honor of the dead"
  • high public esteem, fame, glory, "he has earned his position of honor"

As you prepare for a fun family long weekend take the time to remember WHY we have this holiday. HONOR those that are serving our country and pray for their families and also of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Freedom is not free. I salute ALL who serve and have served our land. YOU ARE HONORABLE.
Blessings...

    Last Veteran's Day, I drove through Georgia's new National Cemetery. And today I see they had a special service at 11am.

    It's a pretty venue with rolling hills. But what I really want to say is that I walked a really neat trail today - the Pine Mountain Trail - East Loop - that is also designed for mountain bikes.

    Have you been there?

    You are so right, Renae.
    I am going to read your post to my three kids.
    I think it is important for us all to take a moment to appreciate the freedoms we have. We should not take them for granted or forget that what those freedoms come with a price.
    Happy Memorial Day.

    A thoughtful post Renae. Today, I honor my father who served his country with pride and who we lost 12 years ago. I miss him so.
