10 Reasons Why I Love Military Families In Our Church
Today we remember the lives of those who sacrificed for freedom. I am honored to live in a military town. All my life I have known soldiers. Some of my best friends and family have been military-related. Our church has a large military population. I have heard people talk about the burden of military families on a church, because every three years they have to be replaced. The family in this picture was in our community group, but just left our church for a reassignment. Cheryl and I could not love a family anymore than we love them. I have, therefore, always felt our church was stronger because of our military families for as long as they might stay. Therefore, as we celebrate Memorial Day, here are 10 Reasons why I love the military families in our church:
- Some of the most dedicated people I know
- Bring experiences from around the world
- Great work ethics
- Expectant of great things from God
- Appreciative of ministry
- Make wonderful volunteers
- Build friends for life
- Sacrificial givers
- Awesome families
- Brave soldiers, protecting my right to do what I do
God bless our military and God bless America. Happy Memorial Day!

Thank you Ron. Melanie and I are truly blessed to be a part of what God is doing in Clarksville through Grace Community. Thank you for honoring the troops. It really means alot to know we have support from home. I’m praying for you.
We’ve been here for 5 years… that’s a long time for a Military family! We’re praying for at LEAST 5 more!

I agree with your top 10. From our experience, the exact same is true for us. We are so grateful for their sacrifices.

Thanks for this tribute. My son served 29 months in Iraq and would be back if he had not gotten out. For us as parents those were some tough times. My son in law is now in and just got back from Iraq for 14 months. My daughter and grandson lived with us through that time. I count them as my hero’s. Few recognize what families go through so thanks for this post.
