Land of the Free

We celebrated Memorial Day in Rochester this year.

 I am a sucker for this holiday - I love everything about it. The parades, the firemen in their dress blues, the veterans walking proudly down the streets of their hometowns.

I love the burgers and hot dogs, the watermelon, the picnics, the marching bands, the official start to summer. 

Though we missed our family and the Sewickley parade, we had a wonderful time with new friends and undertook new adventures.

This is a verse I have been loving lately: "So if you are suffering according to God's will, keep on doing what is right, and trust yourself to the God Who made you, for He will never fail you." (1 Peter 4:19)

I don't know why, but I thought a lot about that verse on Monday.

What a relief it is to rest in Him.
