Oh, I learned that Memorial Day, known as Decoration Day, was first enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War, and was expanded after World War I to include casualties of any war or military action. It therefore commemorates U.S. men and women who perished while in military service to their country.

Yes, and when you don't take that urgent rest, sometimes God knocks you flat on your back and forces it. Sometimes I forget that the Sabbath Rest is Holy and required not only for physical, emotional, and spiritual health -- it is required of us by God -- no matter what day of the week we choose. I think it's part of the whole rhythm of life thing -- giving/taking, sending/receiving, etc. I'm glad you took a rest because you've just spent a week giving so generously of all the beautiful Nancy that you are. I hope you feel the blessed holiness of it all.
Love,
Beth
