My nephew is home for Christmas...due to deploy in January.
Adding my voice to the prayer warriors in prayer for Matt and his loved ones.
While we celebrate with our families we know what you are missing- and it is not far from our thoughts that you are out there-and that your children are protecting us and this country.
I, like so many others, wish I could do something about it. But we all know that I/we cannot. I offer your families my prayers and thanks.
I just wanted you to know that many of us have heavy hearts filled with a mixture of gratitude, and frustration for what you are going thru- this whole holiday season.
A fine looking lad. God be with Matt, protect him with loving arms and comfort his family.
Thanks Graybeard for sharing that story. Prayers to the parents and other family members. That has got to be the worst nightmare for a parent...the uncertainty of their child's demise...or not. May the Lord give them comfort and watch over Matt, wherever he may be.
