Have A Mindful Memorial Day!!


This Memorial Day will be different, take a intentional pause. Aside from the barbecues and celebrations, in this country it’s a time to honor those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. As believers, we also must remember the greatest sacrifice of all—Jesus Christ, who laid down His life so we could live in abundance and eternal salvation.

In the video clip posted, are seven intentional ways to reflect, rest, and reconnect with purpose—through gratitude, prayer, giving back, and being fully present. May your day be filled with reverence, rest, and remembrance.

Bible Verse:
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13 (NIV)

Affirmation:
Today I pause to honor the sacrifices of others, and I rest in the peace that comes from the love of Christ. I choose to live with gratitude, grace, and purpose.
