True Strength

Today is Peace Officers Memorial Day. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day. We honor those so willing to sacrifice for the good of others, the good of community.

I know there has been controversy about police over-extending their authority, which may be true in some cases, but I believe, in most instances, that the men and women who serve us and protect us are good people, sacrificing daily to keep us all safe. To those out there doing this noble work, I say, "Thank You!"

Today's word is a quote I came across about sacrifice, which reminds me of those out there every day doing what they must do to ensure safety and freedom for us all: "The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us, but those who win battles we know nothing about."

It is truly amazing to me that there are others who are so willing to put everything on the line for my family and me. They don't even know us. If they knew us personally, they would see that Trish and the kids are worth the sacrifice but I'm not, yet, they don't differentiate, it's for us all.

JESUS CHRIST paid the ultimate sacrifice in order to pay the price that we could not pay so that we could accept His gift and spend eternity with Him. I am eternally grateful for Him thinking I was worthy, that I was worth it. I am also eternally grateful for all those out there every day doing what is necessary to preserve our freedoms and safety, those possessing true strength.

Be Blessed,
