Honoring Sacrifice

Read 1 Chronicles 10-12

1 Chronicles 11:19 "And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest."

When someone sacrifices for us, there doesn’t seem to be a good enough way to honor them. Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Memorial Day, and other holidays are a way to try.

When we’re writing fiction, we might show how a family or community celebrates sacrifice. Or we might show a grateful character whose life is changed by someone’s sacrifice for them.

We might write an article about someone who’s sacrifice has gone unnoticed. Or we could write an essay about what someone’s sacrifice did for us. We could even write greeting cards for those holidays or thank you cards for heroes who don’t have a holiday.
