Lord,
hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us. I ask this in the name of JESUS our Lord and Savior.
Amen.
The taxi arrived, and as the couple walked out of the house, the cat shoots back in. So the husband goes back inside to chase it out.
The wife, not wanting it known that the house would be empty, explained to the taxi driver "He's just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother."
A few minutes later, the husband got into the taxi and said, "Sorry I took so long, the stupid thing was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out!"
