Monday Morning Offering: MEMORIAL DAY 2022

Good morning, good God!

In my prayer today, I'm remembering, Lord,
those who gave their lives
without a thought of self,

who laid down all 

that I might stand

in freedom dearly won...

I'm praying, Lord:

for those who died in uniform,

who passed from this life to the next,

to you, their Maker,

lover of their souls...

I'm remembering, Lord,

those selfless souls:

their purple-hearted courage

sure and brave on danger's path

where I'd not dare to tread...

I'm praying today, Lord,
remembering love and sacrifice
so freely, fully given

and so easily forgotten by just the ones 

for whom the gift was made...

I'm praying today, Lord,

on this Monday of remembrance, 

offering thanks and praise

for those who loved as you loved us:

    laying down their lives and giving all

    that all, in peace, might live...

 

Amen.
