Fish

Here is the one that got away.....Jock sent this picture  of a sockeye salmon , seems the fish are not biting , and he is not happy   but they will return in time and he will be the first one out casting a line to catch a big one.   

Wow.

Memorial Day weekend.   We have a lot of prayers and good deeds to say and do as we honor those who have fought bravely and gave their lives for our freedom.   Get up and get out and attend a parade if there is one in your town.   Stand tall as the flag goes by and salute it.   Put those hands together and clap, let those who take the time out to honor this special weekend know that we are standing their and backing them up.    Freedom comes with a very high price.   We have no idea unless we tune in and pay attention.   The Veterans of World War II are almost all gone now, remember their sacrifice in the war to end all wars.   Wish that had been true but count up how many more have had to give up their lives and limbs to continue to fight for our freedom.  We do not go out and on the battlefields but we do get up and stand behind them and help in any way we can.     Now we face a relentless and terrible enemy who wants what we have;  freedom.    Again our armed forces  will be called upon to be first in line to stop them, and we need to be prepared and help in every way we can.   We need to let our armed forces know we back them every step of the way.  So celebrate this holiday by showing up and gearing up your patriotism and join in the chorus of God Bless America.

 

So as you celebrate this holiday with all kinds of fabulous foods and visiting family and friends, take the time to stop for a second or two and lift up your thoughts in a prayer of thanksgiving  for having the freedom to do so and a special prayer for the souls who died on the battlefields and for the thousands of veterans who have lived their lives in pain and agony from their wounds.    We owe them so much more than we can ever pay.  

 

 Make this Memorial Day mean something.

 

Hugs to all.
