Sacrifice
Sacrifice as a noun is primarily defined as a precious offering to a deity. As Veteran’s Day approaches, sacrifice comes to the forefront of my meditating mind.
There are many forms of sacrificing; sacrifices that parents make for their children; sacrifices made to save money; sacrifices made by dieter’s; sacrifices of time and energy by countless volunteers for numerous causes; and yes, even the sacrifice bunt. In the recent horrific disaster on the East Coast many sacrifices large and small, known and unknown are being made every second.
Christ said that there is no greater sacrifice than that a man lay down his life for another. This week I invite you to hold in honor and esteem the countless Veteran’s and their families who have served and continue to serve our great nation.
