Memorial Day gives us pause to remember those we love who have died and those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. We are reminded that we stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us. We are who we are today because of what others have sown into our lives. The apostle Paul reminds us to live with a deep sense of gratitude and humility when he asked the question; “What do we have that we didn’t receive?” There’s no such thing as a self-made person. As a person, as a Nation, and as people of faith, we stand on the shoulders of many, many others! We remember and we give thanks.
