Memorial Day is a day when we take time to honor those who lost their lives while serving in the United States military, often in defense of freedom-seeking people in this country and throughout the world. But Memorial Day can also be a good day to remember all the people who have made our lives better in some way. It can be a day to cherish the memories of those who have blessed our lives, and it can be a day to be grateful to God for putting those people in our lives—especially when they were there for us in difficult and trying times.
