Memorial Day. Again.

Memorial Day is for Remembering


Our lives are blessed each day by those who have gone before.  As we interact with family and friends we sometimes miss moments that affect our future memories.  Thankfully, this Memorial day was memorable again.

Family filled our day as we played, worked and remembered together.  Nathan helped me remember the firm foundations provided by so many who helped to build the society we live in.  We worked construction on a train station.  Nathan was foreman and he the most exacting specifications.  Like so many who have prepared buildings, roads and other infrastructure for us to enjoy we worked and labored until the task was done. It was done in all good fun. 


Fun was followed by food.  Then we went to the cemetery for remembering those loved whom have passed on before...






The past memories bring rich present thoughts as we try to teach those living in the present the gifts of those gone before.  Each person in their own way making the most of this memorial day.

Dear neighbor.  Dear friend.  We contemplate your passing and long to greet you on the other side.

Wondering what your life has done to fully effect ours.


Causes our thoughts and hearts to yearn upward....



Certainly do love Memorial day!
