I know your prayer helped! Thank you, jaycee.
God will see us through.

Thank you for sharing all this! It seems like you military folks become family within a family. To me, it’s wonderful! I know what you mean about tears, as they have been flowing on and off for me today, as well! On T.V. they showed kid’s of fallen soldiers getting together at this time, every year! One young lady told how she attempted sucide after her Father was killed. Fortunately, she was unsuccessful and is much, much better now!
This is certainly a difficult weekend! And then there were 2 drownings today at a popular lake near Phoenix. Alot of water and alot of drinking on a very warm day. Doesn’t make sense, does it?

Goodnight Dear FRiends....We Will Remember

God bless you, Mayor, Conor and Dave for your service.
Thank you all for coming by today and sharing your tributes to those
who have sacrificed all for our freedoms.
Thank you for your prayers , music, love and concern for all who
serve our nation, and for the lovely graphics.
May God grant comfort to the families who are grieving today..
May God keep safe those who keep us safe
Wishing you a lovely evening and pleasant dreams.

This weekend is special, especially for old vets remembering lost friends, and families remembering fallen loved ones.

This is for you!

Honor Is Due

Do you remember how He wept in the garden, filled with strife
Even as His Disciples slept away the waning hours of His life
Did He cry for all who would become lost along the narrow way
And those who in some final moment courageous their very lives pay

If He could, why can’t we, do something as simple as feel that need
Are we so stunted in our souls we honor not another’s very last deed
Save me from such a shallow world, rather I would remember them
For they are the very best of a Nation’s children, hence honor stems

I pause to remember, for I too walked the ways of war and strife
I lost good friends to that madness, saw the end of a cherished life
Pause to reflex on the debt one owes to all who fell as in Grace
And know the fallen have stood before His loving gentle face.

_______________________________________________________

Today we left flowers on family graves, veteran and not. Along the way, we left our usual six sets of extra flowers, on six separate unknown (to Us) graves of veterans to say thanks to those who served. We pick them at random, but say thanks to all.

Rest my brothers, your rest is earned, and your gift not forgotten.

I know you have left the thread now, but I just read the story of the Arlington Ladies! How wonderful and touching that story was. I was glad to learn of this great group of ladies. Thanks for that link!

Okay.....so I missed today. Couldn't be helped. Sunday School and Worship this morning. Then a memorial service for a man who passed away last September. His family which was scattered all over the U.S. decided this was the day they could all get together and bury his ashes. Home and lunch at 3:00 p.m. Caught my breath, then off at six to hubby's church for a Gospel sing. He had a really good group there. I enjoyed them very much.

BTW, I peeked in the door early this morning while I was having my morning coffee and I found that after I said goodnight last night, there was some "boozing" going on here at Amy's place. Does she know about this? It's a good thing I left early or you guys would be in big trouble. Tsk Tsk Tsk.
