Thank you, Kitty Mittens.


They shall grow not old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun.
And in the morning
We shall remember them.

A Soldier’s Prayer

Almighty Father,
Whose Command is over all and Whose Love never faileth,
let me be aware of Thy presence
and obedient to Thy will.
Keep me true to my best self,
guarding me against dishonesty
in purpose and in deed,
and helping me so to soldier and to live
so as to stand unashamed
and unafraid before my fellow soldiers,
my loved ones, and Thee.
Protect those in whose love I live.
Give me the will to do the work of a man
and to accept my share
of responsibilities with a strong heart
and a cheerful mind.
Make me considerate of those
entrusted to my leadership
and faithful to the duties my country
has entrusted to me.
Let my uniform remind me
daily of the traditions
of the Service of which I am a part.
If I am inclined to doubt,
steady my faith;
if I am tempted,
make me strong to resist;
if I should miss the mark,
bestow upon me courage to try again.
Guide me with the light of Thy truth ~
and keep before me the life of
Him in Whose example
and deliverance I trust.

In the name of my Lord,

Amen.

Before moving Here, I came from sun & rain mixed...often both in same day. :)Rain to follow sun ...Sun to follow rain,in the same day.Pretty much all year. Made it really green though,the scenery benefited from that weather pattern.
