Why is it that history becomes more important as we get older? I have a birthday this month as well, so that got to thinking about Presidents Day. I always looked forward to shopping. It was always a time I spent my Birthday money because I got more for my money. The real reason for the holiday is to honor the men that have lead our country in times of crisis. It's not a day we got off work to play, but to pay tribute to those who have served our country in the highest office. I can only imagine the weight they must carry and the cost their families incur.
Let's take some time to pray for those in office, especially our president and his family. Regardless of your political stance the Bible tells us to pray for those in authority that it would go well with us.
1 Timothy 2:2 "for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness."

Did you know? President's Day never falls on the actual birthday of any American president. Four chief executives—George Washington, William Henry Harrison, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan—were born in February, but their birthdays all come either too early or late to coincide with Presidents Day, which is always celebrated on the third Monday of the month.
ACTION STEP: This is a great song to teach your children and grandchildren. Let us not forget what is important. Freedom was costly. We appreciate what those that have gone ahead of us, have fought and died for. Pass it on....less we forget.
