And to honor those who are presently serving in the US Army. I heard Jim Plank say today that we tend to take all our freedoms for granted. He said we just glibly go about our lives but tend to forget those that are risking their lives to protect their country and us. It reminds me of the love our Lord has for us. He loved us so much that He died the horrible death on the cross so that we could be free and someday live with Him in Heaven. These soldiers loved their country so much that they gave their lives so we could enjoy the freedoms we have today in this country. Let us remember them on this holiday and pray for those who are currently working to keep us safe. Let us not take for granted the wonderful freedoms and privileges we enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1005\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-west-002.backblazeb2.com\/amaryllis-wp-media\/2019\/05\/d7a786e8d5e85d5fa9330996a7a8db1d.jpg\" alt=\"d7a786e8d5e85d5fa9330996a7a8db1d.jpg\" width=\"448\" height=\"442\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1006\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-west-002.backblazeb2.com\/amaryllis-wp-media\/2019\/05\/ba2381a7db9e058a0b7b12a8aeb56b32.jpg\" alt=\"ba2381a7db9e058a0b7b12a8aeb56b32.jpg\" width=\"341\" height=\"481\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1008\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-west-002.backblazeb2.com\/amaryllis-wp-media\/2019\/05\/8c3149a9493a3dbe33b31933639baaff.jpg\" alt=\"8c3149a9493a3dbe33b31933639baaff.jpg\" width=\"328\" height=\"461\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1004\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-west-002.backblazeb2.com\/amaryllis-wp-media\/2019\/05\/fcd4bef4226606501ce1e69d653745e8.jpg\" alt=\"fcd4bef4226606501ce1e69d653745e8.jpg\" width=\"341\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1007\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-west-002.backblazeb2.com\/amaryllis-wp-media\/2019\/05\/93dfc3627c432db3998ef0891085e6c2.jpg\" alt=\"93dfc3627c432db3998ef0891085e6c2.jpg\" width=\"454\" height=\"454\" \/><\/p>\n<p>May God bless our country.
