Washington DC World War II Memorial

I was so excited that I was able to go on the trip with my daughter to DC. I know she does not grasp the magnitude of what that place represents but for me it was an amazing experience. My emotions were all over the place. There were days I felt sadness, there were days my chest swelled with pride. Only to come home a few days later and be blown away by the Casey Anthony verdict..... I was stunned like most people I know, but I found peace in the words a friend had recently given me. "With what judgement you judge, you will be judged; and with what measure you use, it will be measured back to you." Matthew 7:2.

Harboring ill feelings towards that woman is like fueling yourself with poison. What good does it do to be burdened with her sins. I have a feeling life is going to be hard enough for her when she gets on the outside of those concrete walls.

We toured many places, places of beauty and places of historical value. Upon visiting the World War II Memorial, I was pleased to see several veterans visiting. I stopped as many of them as I could and thanked them for their service. I know how much it means to my husband who has never been to war to hear those words, so I know these men and woman who had fought and seen much harder times than any of us could probably imagine would appreciate the words of gratitude. Each Memorial we visits, echoed the words of our Forefathers. Those whose beliefs make us what we are today and even though some times I believe our freedoms have ran too wild. I still feel truly blessed to be in the land of the free.
