Pastor Wendorf's Weekly Devotional
"Remember You"
I thank my God every time I remember you. -Philippians 1:3
 
Memory is a wonderful gift from God. Because of memory, we can look back and "remember" those who have impacted our lives. On Memorial Day weekend, we are saying to all those who died in defense of our country that we "remember you!" St Paul was thankful for those who were his partners in the Gospel, who worked with him to spread the message of Jesus. This weekend, let us take time to remember those who have impacted our lives. If they are living, get in touch. If they are no longer here, you can still say  "I remember you!" How? By following their example, we are "remembering" what they taught us. As we thank God for our memories, let us live our lives as one that others will want to remember. 

You are welcome to contact Pastor Wendorf to share your thoughts regarding his weekly devotions. pastor.wendorf@splgrafton.org
