Welcome to the TBC Blog this Remembrance Day.

I always find November 11th such a powerful day and reflect throughout the day things I am grateful for and send out lots of prayers and blessings to our soldiers and their families. I pray for Peace God Willing.

My Friend, Cynthia, wrote a great blog for Remembrance Day. See it here.

A writer Friend of mine, Angela, is the TBC Bloggee today and wrote the following:

“364 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes of each year we hope for life’s little luxuries…and we are asked to only give 1 minute of our time back in remembrance.  That seems like a small price to pay?!?! Only 1 minute of 1 day out of 1 whole year; while members of our armed forces risk lifetime after lifetime to fight the battles of our world.  Today, serves as a reminder to remember the lives lost, the freedoms gained and the memories we have in honour of our Veterans and Soldiers.

Remembrance Day also reminds me of something very profound and something that is often taken for granted; how little is expected of the general population when it comes to our Country’s protection. We all go on living day by day complaining about the weather or our TV show being a rerun, when at the same time as we lay our heads to rest, another head ponders what tomorrow will bring at war, or whether their spouse will ever return or whether their son is sleeping safely tonight.  This year, I will be sure to reflect and appreciate more frequently because that is honestly the least I could do. Take today to be mindful for what you have and what you have lost.  I think of my family in the armed forces and their “family away from home” with whom they live and fight each day. I appreciate and am humbled by their dedication and devotion.

Thank you for life as I know it, I try not to take my gift for granted.”

Our quote today comes from Bobby who shares his favorite bible passage for Remembrance Day.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”  John 15:13

Until we Meet Again, Sharon.
