A Great Memorial Day Service

We had a great Memorial Day service at Southside.  Our church is very blessed to have many veterans who gave mighty amounts of sacrifice for our freedoms.  Today, our church was decorated with flags from each branch of service.  As we had the veterans stand as their branch of service was called out, it was humbling and beautiful to see how these men of God gave of themselves years earlier.  We have one man in our church who is in his 90's and he was actually a Prisoner of War.  He is a very humble man and as he was recognized, it was such a blessing to see how God has blessed him, his family, and his health after going through such an adverse and trying time during war so many years ago.

As American Christians, we need to spend time this Memorial Day crying out to God for revival in our land and around the world.  We need to pray for our soldiers, the families of those who have lost soldiers in war, and for one another.  We need to be more steadfast than ever before in our prayer life.

Let's make this Memorial Day filled with prayer.
