[Own Your Life Wed] Sentimental Tribute

DIY   EVENTS    FEEL BETTER    INSPIRATION    WATCH & LISTEN    ABOUT

Saturday is Veteran’s Day in the USA and Remembrance Day in Canada. Because of our Veterans from all of the wars fought throughout the world and our Military protecting us still to this day, we here in the USA and Canada have been given the freedom and privilege of owning our lives.

We have been helped in countless ways by people who have dedicated themselves to service.  Today, let’s pause to honor them and pray affirmatively for peace and protection. Let’s envision them and their loved ones encompassed by love and comfort in their hearts. Because of their courage and commitment, our lives are enriched and protected in myriad ways. Thank you for your service, dedication and sacrifice.

In today’s blog I’ve posted the eloquent writings of John Wayne “Jack” Schlatter for you to take comfort in and be inspired by.  God bless our Veterans and Military.

The memories of the sacrifices made will walk and talk in the hearts of those we leave behind …
