Remember the Alamo!!

This past week for Thanksgiving, I went down to Austin, TX to visit with some friends for the long weekend. I had a great time and it was a nice break from classes. Thanksgiving Day was gorgeous! about 70 degrees and sunny. It was kinda weird, since we normally go sledding that day back home. But I enjoyed the sunshine. :)

On Friday, my friend and I went down to San Antonio. Walked around the riverwalk, watched a short IMAX video about the Alamo, went to the actual Alamo and did some Christmas shopping. We had a marvelous time!! 

I love history, so seeing the Alamo was pretty cool. Its pretty amazing that all those men decided to fight to the death for freedom. They didn't know that their death would inspire many others to stand and fight and eventually Texas would send Mexico packing. By dying, they helped pave the way so others could live in freedom. You know our lives are to be lived for Christ,  but we should be willing to live or even die for Christ's glory. I think of people like William Borden who died shortly after arriving on the mission field. He didn't get much of a chance do much there on the foreign field before God called him home. On the human level, we would say 'what a waste.' But in God's eyes, nothing is a waste if it is done for His glory! Because of Borden's death, many others in America were inspired to give their lives for the service of their Saviour. God was honored even in William Borden's death. Are you honoring Christ now with your life? 

 John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
