Reflections

We visited the Vietnam memorial on our visit to Washington D.C. It is simple in structure and design, but absolutely a beautiful tribute to those that gave their lives for freedom. It is black, yet you can see your reflection from any angle when looking at the names. It isn't an accident in the design, but intentional that we should see ourselves when we see those that gave their lives. We are the reason that those soldiers went to war, our country and its citizens meant that much to them. Seeing the reflection of ourselves should remind us that we are bought with a price, just as Christ gave himself for us. We are the reflection that was worth giving his life for.

1 Corinthians 6:20

"For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
