Dear Friends,
World War I — “the war to end all wars” — ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day, of the 11th month of 1918 when the armistice with Germany took effect. Obviously, the “war to end all wars” didn’t. We’ve seen a century of conflicts that have required millions of men and women to step forward. One who stepped forward was Robert Macaulay. It is fitting that the memorial service for him and his wife Elizabeth is being held this Veteran’s Day weekend. Bob’s love of country and his devotion to God and the Lord Jesus Christ have been an inspiration to Bonnie and me and to many others.
This is the 81st posting of the devotional www.becausewelovehim.wordpress.com/. It all started when we were looking for a way to better serve those whom we affectionately dubbed, “Our Deaconese”. When our term as Deacons ended we planned to discontinue our weekly posting, but it was Bob Macaulay who encouraged us to continue.
In Matthew 5:16 we read, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Bob’s light shone brightly, and our Father in heaven has brought home one of his most faithful servants.
Happy Veterans Day to all who have served our country.
Blessings, Your Friends in Christ
