Ascension Sunday and Memorial Weekend

Ascension Sunday falls on Memorial Day Weekend this year so it makes a nice holiday. I like to believe that God is in His heaven with His Son watching over us, our military service people are being honored this weekend and in a great show, the Navy gave us a first strike on a long range missle out in the Pacific this week. I think of it as a gift to start the holiday.

I think of our fallen military and any who served who are with our Lord now. My grandfathers, my dad, my uncles, family friends, friends.

It's a time when I fly my flag, a little one in the wreath on the door; one hanging in the hallway...it flew over the Capitol in honor of my dad. Anyone can ask their Rep. or Sen. in Congress to do this for them. I commerated the anniversary of his death. I cherish my flag.

I made some computer floral arrangements, I may bring them out over this weekend. It is comforting to know our Lord left this earth to prepare a place for us with our Father in heaven. I think of my family in heaven that have left the earth.

What do other people do that have no such faith?
