Devotion
Read: John 15:12-17
When we think of the devotions in this book we think of memorable events, acts of kindness or wondrous happenings. Each Sunday the bulletin has a list of those serving in the military. The service of these who have volunteered to serve the country wherever they are sent is easily pushed to the back of our minds since it is remote and mostly does not touch us directly. This is a different kind of devotion - - one of devotion to the country, to the safety of their families and friends, and to preserving our way of life.
This devotion evolves into an even greater devotion to their fellow servicemen and women and brings a closeness not understood outside the military. Devotion to the point of self sacrifice (sounds a lot like Christ).
One returning soldier responded when asked why he served “to keep the F in VFW”
A special thanks to all.
