Remembrance
Day reminds us that many of our daily blessings have roots in significant
historical events in which human courage and sacrifice played significant roles. Conversely, parts of the world that are
racked with violence and injustice are living the consequences of conflicts and
vengeance-seeking that are often centuries old.
In the Lord’s
eyes, a day is like a thousand years.
Spend a few moments today pondering the grand sweep of history as it reflects
both God’s faithfulness and human rebellion, and the ways in which both
blessings and suffering in our own lives and in our world today have deep
historical roots.
And please
join us for a short Remembrance Day ceremony in the central foyer from 10:45
-11:15.
Sample: Lord of all time, today I thank you for
_____________ , a blessing we enjoy in large part because (historical

grace to shape (broken global situation), and bring healing into centuries-old
