Just saying “Memorial Day”
sets off a slide show in my head.
Flowers on graves….flags…Veterans in parade…community dinner…people
sitting together…laughter...gossip…tractors…pick-ups…Those are all part of a
very long slide show.
Oh, I could write about
feeling like an indentured servant as a teenager serving desserts and cleaning
up.
But, mainly the message here
is one of community and communion: Together, worshiping, sharing memories,
passing on traditions, and meeting as one.
This song comes to mind: Let
Us Break Bread Together
Community communing. Something worth defending.
