Determination…the act of succeeding against the odds

 

We are here enjoying a beautiful weekend. It just happens to also be Memorial Day Weekend. This is a time that is set aside to be thankful to those who have and continue to serve but more so to remember those who have given up of themselves so that we can enjoy what we have today and also to continue to live relatively safe lives. Some gave all and ALL gave some! When I think back while I was growing up in Syosset, NY and all the parades attended while in the Boy Scouts. I wonder if today’s generations really know what it is all about. I live in Bermuda today. Not everyone knows about Memorial Day. A couple of the kids asked me some questions in church today as to why I was wearing a flag tie etc. I was pleased  to answer them which led to more questions. Well I was determined to at least help them to know a bit more. Determination….when it comes to what we do on a daily basis, to what others are called to do in times of trouble, to doing whatever it takes to ensure a successful outcome. Just 3 more feet, just 3 more feet…

What is it that determination means to you? Are you prepared and determined to do whatever it takes? Would love to hear your comments on today’s post. Peace!
