Why I Kept Our Memorial Decorations Up All June Last Year



Why I Kept Our Memorial Decorations Up All June Last Year

I started decorating the month of June last year in honor of those who died without a funeral.  I had people I loved who died.  Many people died without a funeral.  It was the first year I decided to leave our July décor in place. 

I would like to say every day belongs to God.  No matter what this world does nothing will change that.  Psalms 118:24 says-This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. And also:  Psalms 113:3 says- From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised.   

I believe in celebrating Jesus Christ every single day.  We are to praise his name at sunrise, all day, and at sunset.  I believe in celebrating our country and I’m grateful for the freedom to worship our sinless God in heaven.  Who hates sin, and also brings judgment upon those that continue to rebel against his will.  I believe in celebrating the heroes of our country and I’m grateful for their sacrifice.  I’m thankful for law enforcement that does well and does right.   I celebrate their heroism and their sacrifice both those living and those who have gone before us.

I believe in celebrating the love of God and his love is pure.  His love is sinless and is powerful.  His love has changed the lives of many.  People’s love may fail us but God’s love never fails. 

In the front of my house, my gardens spell out Lov which is spelled short for love.  The V is in the shape of a heart.  It stands for nearly 35 years of marriage to one man.  It stands for people I am grateful to, my family, my church, true friends, my community, our country, our public servants, and most of all for what Christ has done to save those who believe and trust upon Christ as Saviour.

Recently we had a pole moved two poles over towards our home, onto our property.  At first, I really didn’t like it there.  I asked God to have them move it back into its original place.  We do not have any powerlines coming from those poles our lines are underground.  The people who owned this home before paid to have their lines put underground.  The poles were moved towards our home on two occasions.  They have been moved in, the total width of three poles.  For the first time, I viewed those poles as three crosses.  Between the two poles and in front of the middle pole is the word lov without the e.  It made me think of Jesus and the two thieves and the love of Christ as He prayed “Father forgive them”.    “They know not what they do.”   Love paid our sin debt and brought salvation to all those who believe and trust him.  I’m choosing to use those poles as a way to tell others about Jesus.  Hopefully, God will give me many opportunities to do so.

In closing I want to say Thank you.   

Thank-you each one. To those who are faithful, honest and true, for your sacrifice, for your service.  If you see flags up around my home.  I’m expressing my love for Our God, my husband, our family, our friends, our country and our heroes.  June belongs to God.  He is the alpha and omega. Each day is his and he owns each day.   I dedicate each day in honor of Him.
