Please add My son on as he is serving with the 1/7 Marines at Twenty Nine Palms
Hi, weldgophardline. Has your son been deployed and/or will he be?
Adding a prayer for OIF FReeper 'jumpmstr4u2' preparing to redeploy, i.e., COME HOME!!!
He is redeploying back to the sandbox or from the sandbox back here? God bless you Jumper! Prayers with you, my hero, wherever you are! (((hugs)))
LE...I tried to send this post to him too, but it wouldn't accept jumpmstr4u2 as a FR name. ??????
I'm so sorry! There's no 'u' after the 'j'. O darn, now that I'm FReeping more frequently, these things happen!!
From the sandbox, please God!! We're awaiting an update; you know how they keep them incommunicado while redeploying...
I will let Greg's Mom know that you pray for him.
And now I am surprised to hear that David is going out again so soon; and certainly, dear Luv, I will be praying with you... Hugs :-)
Thanks...moms love to hear that their kids are being prayed for. And thanks for praying for mine! (((hugs)))
He goes out for these trips about every 6 months. I think this is the last one, though. He gets re-assigned pretty soon and he is really glad, too. It was an adventure at first, but after getting married, it isn't quite so much fun! LOL!
It's been 6 months already since we welcomed David back home!! Tempus fugit!!
Yep! And off he goes one more time. I hope when he gets home this time, they will be coming out to see us. It's been so long since my trip to Florida....last April! Sheesh!
Thank you for the beautiful tribute and prayer.

Beautiful Meg! Thanks....and good night. I gotta get some sleep! :o)

I just now finished reading and praying over that very passage of Scripture in my personal devotions this morning! I am in awe of how our gracious God through His Word and Spirit "works all things together for good to those who love Him and are Called according to His purpose (Romans 8:38)." What never ceases to amaze me is that He does it down to the minutest detail! Even here, even for me, even with this one word of Wisdom from His Book, even through FR and through you to me, Mayor! O! Awesome, glorious Father! Thank You for Who You Are and How You Move on our behalf as Your Children in Jesus Christ Your Beloved!
My prayers are focused on my brother's family and specifically his wife and how my sister and I and our dad can help them in their functional family dynamics. It is such a delicate matter and previous attempts to "bind up" and to "restore" and to "heal" have not been successful. Oh, what wisdom and gentleness is needed!
I can't thank our Lord enough for the happy moving of His Power and Love this morning through that specific devotion and through you, Mayor!
That proverb is right in line with this one:
I've also spent much time contemplating Proverbs 17:17a
A friend loves at all times.
I've spent so much time with that little pearl of wisdom and instruction because I have not yet learned what love looks like in every single situation. Our Lord and His Word give us "all we need for life and godliness," truly, but applying that "all" with wisdom in every circumstance requires insight beyond what I currently have! (And yet, My Jesus Christ has shown me that "in the multitude of counselors there is wisdom," that "His Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path," and that His Manna to me is "daily". Amen.)
Truly it is Christ Jesus that is the Friend Who Always Loves, who always knows how to love, for love comes in many forms, even in rebuke, as your devotion so truthfully points out! I so want to "grow up into Him who is my Head!"
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that! you may be able to discern what is best! and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God.
Philippians 1:9-11 NIV
Now, if that's not manifest evidence of the God of my Salvation Who is Intimately Acquainted with me and all my ways, then I don't know what is! (:
Oh, thank You, YOU! My Father, Lord, and Husband! My Brother and Best Friend! My Counselor and Teacher and High Priest and Intercessor! Hallelujah to the King of Kings! You are Faithful and You are True! You are so incredibly Gracious and so Compassionate! Thank You, thank You, thank You!
Kitty Mittens, my dear Sister, your prayers for me have contributed to this Grace. Thank you, my darling.
