To my heroes...



I am so thankful for all those who have given their lives to serve this country, and to preserve my freedom and to uphold the freedom of others around the world. I often forget that there are individuals who give up their comforts and freedoms to protect mine. What a powerful reminder of their beautiful and courageous sacrifices.




Someday--in much the same way, I have committed to give up my freedoms and comforts to serve others...shouldn't I be practicing that now?

I think about this more than I used to because my brother will likely be taking a tour of duty when he graduates. Kind of sobering...

Kristin,
Oh but you are already giving up some of your freedom being a Mom and serving others! What greater job is there than raising a Godly next generation!
