Memorial Day Rememberances
On this day, I remember those who have passed on, of my family and friends, who also served in the military. Specifically, I honor my dad Raymond Lee Spencer and my brother, Michael Ray Spencer. I’m sure there are many more, alive or not, who I should be recognizing….but, at this time, it’s my immediate family that I remember the most. Please remember at 3 pm (wherever you are) to stop and say a prayer for fallen soldiers everywhere.
Hi friend.. I wanted to share this poem I wrote this morning, as I thought of those in my own family who were career military, or those whom I have lost in the family. Thank you for your post here, honoring your family.. Memories is what I have titled this poem.. Praying joy, and peace over you today, Tammy.. You are a blessing.

Lord Jesus, thank you for the memories
both the old, and the new
And , in remembering of times gone past,
I thank you , Lord , for teaching me what’s important to You.
I’ve learned from Your Word, to do as You teach
loving, and giving unselfishly for those in our lives
And most of all, I’ve ask, Lord God
that it’s You, who would be reflected in my heart, and eyes.
Memories of old , yes, experienced in life
each one filled with amounts of good or pain
but knowing , You were in each one that we have
Lord – a memory past or present, teaching , the same.
So once again , I thank You for each memory
both for the old, and for the new
And , in remembering of times , or people I’ve lost
I thank you , Lord , for teaching me what’s important to You
