God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dansangel; Dutchess or Aquamarine and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Morning, dutchess. Love the "Celebrate Living" posts you do and the music today! I have it playing in the background.

Have a wonderful day, Sistah. :-)

Celebrate living by giving your kids a hug. They don't stay kids very long.

Never underestimate your power to change yourself.

Did that already. I'm now a 'wolf'.

Never overestimate your power to change others.

Phooey! I'll never give up trying to change the 'Babes' into *wolfettes*. LOL

Morning, ((((dutchess)))))

Neat thread. I may even learn something. : )

Thank you for bringing us this beautiful thread with such lovely thoughts (((((dutchess)))))))

My work-induced *mood* prevents me from thinking such nice things today, however. :-( I'm beginning to resemble our resident curmudgeon (((((skinny dood))))))) thanks to the corporate world.

Give thanks for your friends.

Give thanks for our friendships we've made at the Finest...

A hearty AMEN!! to all of the above!
