FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

WACKY WEDNESDAY

Welcome to the FR Canteen’s Wacky Wednesday where the plan for today is to be silly. That’s right. This is something that comes easy to most Canteeners, but we understand that it may not be easy for others. We hope that by spending the day with us you’ll soon get the hang of it. Today will be considered lesson one.

Hopefully, by now you are getting the idea of how Wacky Wednesday works. Please join us for the month of February while Mrs. Nooseman, our very own new American citizen, takes a quick break. Please join in with some clean joke & pics.

Remember the Canteen is a family-friendly place.

Peripheral Vision

READ: Luke 9:51-62

Now it came to pass, when the time had come for [Jesus] to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem. —Luke 9:51

Now it came to pass, when the time had come for [Jesus] to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem.  —Luke 9:51

Peripheral vision enables us to be aware of our surroundings while remaining focused on our destination. What we see from “the corner of our eye” can be useful, unless it distracts us from our goal.

During the weeks leading to Easter, as we think about the cross, we may be struck by our Lord’s purposeful approach to the city where He knew crucifixion and resurrection awaited Him. “Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem” (Luke 9:51). From that moment on, Jesus’ eyes were on the cross. Every obstacle to accomplishing His Father’s will became part of His peripheral vision.

When a man professed an interest in following Him, Jesus told him: “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God” (v.62). The issue was probably not the man’s family (v.61) but his focus.  We can’t move ahead while looking at what we’ve left behind.

Neither cries of “Hosanna” nor shouts of hatred could deter Jesus from His goal “to give His life a ransom for many” and to pay the price to set us free (Matt. 20:28).

Where is our focus today? 

Some people follow Jesus Christ,
Then obstacles get in their way;
But if they’ll focus on the Lord,
They won’t be led astray.  —Sper

You don’t need to know where you’re going if you know the One who does.
