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; 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.

All good points, Miss Dutchess ... thank you.

I celebrate life by watching CNN and MSNBC a lot less then I used to ... it's been like staying out of the sticker patch when barefooted.

Amen. Both stations are off limits here. It's either FOX or the Food Network....(or an occasional soap opera...gulp...okay...we all have a vice or two :o).... Have a wonderful Wednesday...

Beautiful thread, Dutchess, thanks.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, all.

Believe in love at first sight

Boys learn to take what they desire
At their fathers knees .. the skills required.
Men learn to love to their surprise
When first they look into a daughters eyes

Dutchess, you'll be pleased to know that I won't fault you for posting this too early. In fact, if you would have posted this immediately after Billie's "presentation" it would've been fine with me. The sooner that one was killed off the better. :-)

Don’t waste time responding to your critics.

After reading that one, I guess there's no point in mentioning what I thought of the ending. :-)

Believe in love at first sight

Yep.
Been falling in love every morning with the first sight I see.

(Pssst. Boy on the right in cammies next to the girl wearing white shirt). :)

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, dutchess, for bringing us another special "Celebrate Living" thread.

This one particularly caught my eye, "Visit Washington, D.C., and do the tourist bit." That is exactly what we are planning to do in mid June! :-)

Sistah hugs!

G'evening, good buddy

[Syncro]

Thanks for the ping, Lori.

One of my sons' birthday.

I wanted to name him Sink(Cr)o(w) {Cinco) but I was out voted...

[Mama_Bear]

I wanted to name him Sink(Cr)o(w) {Cinco) but I was out voted...

LOL!! (((((((((syncro))))))))).

You will have mail, as soon as I get a chance to send it. Don't wait up. LOL

[Syncro]

Actually that is quite ironic, because as this moment I am wading... up the creek...with a miner's light on looking for crawdads and just had to bring my new wireless laptop. Can't stay away from the computer for long...

And if you believe that, I got this bridge for sale...LOL

Good morning Dutchess.

[MeekOneGOP]

Mornin', everybody ! Happy Wednesday !

Happy Cinco de Mayo !

[The Mayor]

Their voice was heard; and their prayer came up to His holy dwelling place, to heaven. —2 Chronicles 30:27

You'll never get a busy signal on the prayer line to heaven.
