"Happy" Memorial Day!  "Happy" doesn't quite seem right.   Memorial Day is really more of a somber day - a day meant to honor and remember U.S. military service members who died in service to their country.  Thus...
Have a meaningful Memorial Day!
Or, how about:  "Wishing you a peaceful Memorial Day"?

Today we remember those who have served and sacrificed, our veterans and heroes.  We also, each of us, might take time to remember our loved ones that are gone.   I'm mindful of Isaiah 2:4 that speaks of that future day when "...they shall beat their swords into plowshares...neither shall they learn war anymore." Thankfully, we will have peace in God's eternal kingdom.  This does not come without a cost of war... Jesus paid that cost. Likewise...our country is quite peaceful ... that peace marked on this day by the cost of war.    Thank you to those who gave their lives!  

Make time today to do something meaningful.   Even if just pausing at this time to reflect, to thank God, and remember.
