Memorial Day

I'll be away from the blogosphere for a few days.

During the coming holiday weekend I suggest the following;

While you're stuck in traffic, rather than cursing at the idiots in front of you, take the opportunity to give thanks to those who have perished in the cause of defending our freedom.

When the piece of barbecued chicken you take from the grill is burned on one side, rather than complaining about the cooking, take the time to give thanks that you are part of a family unit that remains more or less in tact.

When the air conditioner gives out, rather than yelling at the technician who tells you he can't get to you until morning, take the time to pray for those who are wearing combat fatigues in the middle of a hot, arid desert.

This weekend is supposed to be about THEM, not US. Give THEM a few minutes of your life.

Have a great Memorial Day!!!
