As we celebrate the true meaning of Memorial Day, it gives pause to all of us who enjoy the freedoms that we enjoy in this amazing country. We thank those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to all of us who enjoy this incredible priviledge of living in such a free country. It also gives us pause to think about those who are poor and desperate to speak on their behalf.
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves for the rights of those who are devestated. Speak up and think about their situation defend the rights of the poor and needy." ~ Proverbs 31:8-9 (Sal's Modern Translation)
This verse has particular meaning in that we all have opportunity to speak for those who cannot and seek justice for the poor amoung us.
