This is
Memorial Day. It is a day to remember those military troops who gave their
lives for our country, as well as veterans and those who currently serve. We depend
upon them to protect our great nation. Dependable—that is what our military
personal are for this nation. Where would we be without them? Dependability is
a characteristic that we all want to have in our children and grandchildren.
I’ve known several people who have gone into military service in hopes of
developing that characteristic of dependability—in addition to work skills and
educational or travel opportunities. To be dependable is a great asset in our
society. Being dependable may make a difference in whether a person is hired
for a particular job. Are you dependable? Do you provide a “dependable” example
for your children and grandchildren?
Training Tip – Play a game of Follow the Leader with your young
children. Take them somewhere that they can walk on a board as a balance beam…or
across a log. Do risky things but in a safe way that they can depend on you to
be there for them—to catch them if they are close to falling. Show them that
you are dependable and talk with them that you want them to be dependable, too.
Lord Jesus,
create in my children and grandchildren a heart that desires to be dependable
for themselves and for each other within our family. In addition, I thank you for being part of my husband Jerry’s
life, allowing him to have such a dependable character. I ask that You would
continue to guide and direct him, giving him wisdom for all the days of his
long life ahead of him.
Happy Birthday,
Jerry—Love and Blessings
Happy Memorial
Day – to our veterans and their families.
