Remembrance

Remembrance
 
I remember the gifts of all who have passed.
On days when the nation comes together in remembering, I pray for those who mourn. I may attend a memorial service, concert, or prayer circle. Regardless of the method I choose, I honor those who have passed as I affirm peace for their families and in the world.
I also remember the anniversaries of the passing of my own loved ones. I give thanks for their wit and wisdom, their help and love. I am who I am because of their part in my life. I honor who they were and their contribution to the world. How blessed I am for family, friends, teachers, mentors—for all of those who have helped me grow. I remember them today with heartfelt gratitude and love.
Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “Do this in remembrance of me.”—Luke 22:19
