Son learns depth of mother's sacrifice as WWII nurse

RLINGTON, VA. — It's a busy spring morning in the curved pavilion of the Women in Military Service for America Memorial outside the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery.

But for me, the outside noise disappears when a picture pops up on a computer screen in an alcove. It's my mother.

Proud in her Army nurse's uniform, 2nd Lt. Margaret Taylor of Quincy, Mass., 23 years old at the time, smiles. The screen says she joined the Army in April 1945 and served with the 229th General Hospital in occupied Nagoya, Japan, after spending a month in the Philippines. Campaign and victory medals she won are listed.

Good morning this Sunday of Memorial weekend - hope you are all well.

Here is an English breakfast for you all

The Pain Of Falling

READ: 1 Corinthians 10:1-12

Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. —1 Corinthians 10:12

There I was, sailing along on my rollerblades, my wife at my side. Suddenly, the wheels on my left boot began to wobble, and a second later I was face down on the asphalt. Just like that, I had a broken finger and some nasty cuts on my face.

This happened a couple of years ago, but the results of that fall are still fresh on my mind. The pain of falling is still with me, making me much more cautious on my rollerblades. Having fallen once, I take every precaution to avoid doing so again.

Falling isn’t good. But for anyone who has stumbled in life, something positive can result—if the fall leads to a more careful way of living.

Paul admonished, “Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall” (1 Cor. 10:12). Believers do fall. But when we do, our goal must be to learn from our error and to avoid a second spill.

If you have stumbled along the course of life’s journey, there’s hope. First, ask God for guidance, for He “upholds all who fall” (Ps. 145:14). Next, read the Word and begin to live carefully by its principles—“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Rom. 12:2).

Have you fallen? Ask God to help you get up and keep from falling again.

We’re thankful, Lord, that when we fall
We can begin anew
If humbly we confess our sin,
Then turn and follow You. —Sper

When we walk in the Light, we won’t stumble in the darkness.

Bible in One Year:   2 Chronicles 1-3; John 10:1-23

Heroes

Lord, We thank You for those who are serving in our armed forces. Each day they are making brave sacrifices so that our country can remain strong and free. Keep them safe under the shelter of Your wings. And Lord, for their families back home——whose loving support enables our armed forces, to do all that they are called on to do——we ask that You comfort them and give them Your peace...the peace that passes all understanding. Amen


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; Dutchess; DollyCali; JustAmy; The Mayor; GodBlessUSA,
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. Amen
