To Serve well

Serving with Excellence for a Life of Excellence

May 27, 2018

A day to honor: Memorial Day

Memorial Day is about honor.

As we kick off this week, focused on honoring those who have served our country and lost their lives, I pray that we will all consider the impact this sacrifice has had on our lives. In America, we experience freedom of every possible type. This has come at a price. It will personally be a great joy to lift up to God my many thanks for this gift. My gift in return will be to not only live a life of excellence, but to inspire others to do the same.

Let’s make this week all about HONOR. One of my favorite discussion topics, because we need to keep it front and center.

Have an amazing long weekend. I pray that you will be refreshed and that a spirit of honor will fill your heart and home.

I want to also take a moment to recognize not only those who have left us through their service to our country, but to all who have gone ahead of us. We are who we are because of their impact on our lives.

    We do indeed stand on the shoulders of those who hav gone before us. Thank you Liri for this reminder…and we than God For this legacy.
    Our soul is hungry to help others and make this world a better place…. Like Tim McGraw sez in his song “Live life like you are dying.”

      Gotta love Tim McGraw …that song is priceless! God knows those before us prayed on our their knees to get us here today and we need to do the same for future generations.
