There is a scene in Star Trek where Spock is on his way to the engine room.  He meets McCoy, the doctor and placing his hand on his face in the Vulcan mind meld says, “Remember.”  Then Spock saves the ship and dies in the process.

 

Remember.  How often do we forget the ones who helped us during difficult times?  How often do we forget when to pay the bills, cook meals for friends, or just to say “thank you?”  

 

Remember.  There are so many people who have positively influenced our lives.  They have sacrificed.   They have suffered.  They have died. 

 

Remember.  Memorial Day is the day to remember those who died for the freedoms of this land.  They willing sacrificed their lives, dreams, and possibilities.   The greatest act of love can be seen in their last moments.

 

Remember the last words of Jesus?  “Father forgive them.”  Words to remember.
