A Memorial Tribute

I received this e-mail from Alfred Lee. Some of you might know him. He was born Arron Alfred Soon-Chye Lee in Klang, Selangor, West Malaysia.in 1972, He is an accomplished Electronic (keyboard) Organ musician. More importantly, since arriving in the U.S.A. he has become a dedicated Christian. I thought his Memorial Day sentiments were worth repeating.

The Hero of heroes has already appeared so many years ago, and the Champion of champions have already won the greatest war of all. His name is Christ Jesus, the Lord of lords, and the King of kings. He has given His precious life to protect us & save us from the wickedness and harm of evil, and by doing so, has also reaped eternal life as a reward for all of us and the world.

As we honor and salute our heroes, our veterans who continue in the Lord's tradition and ways of sacrificial love for country & fellowmen, let us not forget the true value of these souls, whether fallen or still living, their hearts are truly incomparable, and lives irreplaceable. It does not matter whether these veterans are believers or not, but I can trust that they would all be Christians because they have loved as Christ has loved us; for I strongly believe that those who willingly give their lives to protect others had to be motivated by the same Spirit who motivated Christ to die for the sins of the world. Jesus said, "There is no greater love than one who lays down his life for a friend." So this suggest that the one who loves has to have God living within them, because God id Love, for no one can love like God unless God lives in him and inspires him to love as he does. Let us pray to the Almighty with hearts full of thanksgiving for these men and women of treat valor who have sacrificed so much for us, for our country, and for the world. I trust that their rewards will be great in heaven.

So this weekend and holiday, enjoy your day with family & friends as you remember to give thanks to God for His love, through the sacrifice of the lives of our veterans, and honoring also the ones who are at the front lines protecting the world from the forces of darkness, evil and wickedness. And as Christ has instructed us to do, please remember Him at church, for He said, "As often as you Do this , do it in memory of Me." Besides, isn't that the greatest thing one can do in appreciation for the life of sacrifice one has shown us?
