This Wednesday is Remembrance Day. May we not only pause to appreciate the great sacrifice of earlier generations to safeguard our country as a place of peace and opportunity, but may we also pray for those who currently serve in our military as well as for leaders of our provinces and our country as they wrestle with contemporary social and moral issues. Pray that they will seek wisdom from God as they carry out the duties of their respective positions/offices.
