Charlene Costanzo (author of The Twelve Gifts From the Garden) remembers the people who died for the hope of freedom.
“As we express our gratitude,
we must never forget that
the highest appreciation is not to utter words
but to live by them.”
– John F. Kennedy
With Memorial Day upon us, let’s ask: what does it mean?
No matter what we do this weekend, let’s take some time to reflect on the meaning of Memorial Day, which is designated to honor the military service of men and women who died while fighting for freedom and safeguarding our Constitution.
Let’s appreciate all who tap into strength and courage to safeguard our freedom. And let’s continue to strive – to live our lives according to our highest values.
Amen,
Charlene
