Served Many

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Mark 10:45

A respectful Veterans Day to all those who served their country in the armed forces. For many of us the model of our service is Jesus the Christ. Did I fit that model perfectly when I went to the Marine recruiter that day? Sorry, no I was looking out for myself and that seemed like the answer to life, problems, and everything. Others will recall their own reasons for joining the military, but each of us I believe come to appreciate our service more as the years go by. Perhaps it was those years of Sunday School or the sermons we sat through, but somewhere in each of us was the desire to serve. It may be that the Son of Man who came to serve many, had some of us in mind for military service even before we were born. So, praise God for allowing us to serve our nation.

May God bless all those who served!
