Prayers as always for our troops

It is with a sad heart that I ask prayers for a local family. We lost a great troop supporter this evening here. She literally passed away supporting our troops. This loving mother of 5 who have served our country with a son in-law currently in Iraq died on her way to greet troops returning home. I'm sorry to say that I was not there tonight but I did get word that once again our troops showed honor.

The chaplin on the flight had a small service for the troop greeter. God Bless him and our troops. The troops did get a welcome but they gave comfort to those who came to comfort.

ANOTHER PRAYER REQUEST:

In post 124 armymarinemom has requested prayer for a lady who died on her way to greet homecoming troops.

"It is with a sad heart that I ask prayers for a local family. We lost a great troop supporter this evening here. She literally passed away supporting our troops. This loving mother of 5 who have served our country with a son in-law currently in Iraq died on her way to greet troops returning home.

BELOVED HEAVENLY FATHER,

We place on the altar the lady who held to her heart our troops and was diligent in making sure that they had a proper "welcome home" as they return from the Front. Father, this servant passed on while she was making her way to perform this service. Bless her and grant her a very special place in your heaven. If it is your Will, let her continue her work in greeting and welcoming our precious troops who are called Home to you to Heaven.

Father, bless and surround her family and many friends while they mourn their loss of her Presence among them. Comfort and heal them during their time of grief.

Amen
