Lest we forget..

"Remembrance Day is one of my favorite days of the year. I don't mean that I wait all year long for it to come or that I am happy about the reason for the day, I just mean that I think it is a good reminder of what we have and take for granted. I personally need that reminder every once in a while.

I find that I am filled with pride during this day. Pride in my country, where I am from, and the people who live here who were so willing to lay down their lives for the rest of us. Because of their sacrifices we are free. Free to live where we want to, how we want to, free to go to school and get and education, and free to worship in whatever way the Holy Spirit moves us. 

It is amazing how easy it is to forget how lucky we are. Life is such a wonderful gift and this day is a great reminder not to take it for granted."
