How many military families are out there this Veterans Day thinking about their loved ones who gave the ultimate sacrafice? How many current deployed soldiers are missing their families because they are doing a sacrafice for me. I see the American Flag different now after I read somewhere that the color red on the flag represents the blood lost in battles fighting to defend this country. I never saw the flag mean so much to me now. As it waves it is also as if all those lost soldiers are waving at me telling me "thanks for showing us the respect we deserve". I love the word respect too but today's word is SACRAFICE. lol
This motorcycle was at Vietnam Veteran's Homecoming in May at Charlotte Motorspeed. It is EOD emblem with TSgt Adam Ginnett name and says "Our Son Our Hero". His parents were there sharing in the day and probably thinking of their son's sacrafice. Again another kid with a future ahead of him who died for our country.

Sacrafice has also been in my life lately with this job. I have to sacrafice my own happiness to end up doing my job. I sacrafice around the house by doing all the chores (mow lawn, garbage, cook, clean, dishes etc...) because Rick is a zombie working his 12 hour shifts for 7 days a week now since May. That is part of marriage is the give and take and making sacrafices for each other to help out when the other one needs it. I have made sacrafices that weren't pleasant just to please people but now I have learned that any sacrafice that I will be doing... is going to be worth it. It might not always be enjoyable, like cleaning the toilet... (LOL) but it is worth it.
Because it's Sunday and I just was thanking God for all my blessings... I want to thank Him for bringing you to my blog and reading more about me. I don't know who reads this...but I am praying for you and thanking God you are in my life.
BIG SMILES!!!!
