A Day for Remembrance

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

- Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army

Free Easter Devotional

Ann Voskamp's Blog, A Holy Experience, is one of my favorite blogs.  Ann is a very gifted writer and I am always convicted, moved, humbled or filled with joy as I read her words.  Her openness and honesty are a great blessing.

I had the privilege a few years ago to review her Advent devotional, The Glorious Coming, which my children and I have read together.  Now she is making her Lent Devotional, Trail to the Tree, available for free on her blog.   You should definitely check it out.
