Proverbs 31:10-31

"Who can find a virtuous woman?
for her price is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her,
so that he shall have no need of spoil.
She will do him good and no evil all the days of her life.
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
She is like the merchants' ship; she bringeth her food from afar.
She riseth also while it is yet night,
and giveth meat to her household,
and a portion to her maidens.
She considereth a field, and buyeth it:
with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
She girdeth her loins with strength,
and strengtheneth her arms.
She perceiveth that her merchandise is good:
her candle goeth not out by night.
She layeth her hands to the spindle,
and her hands hold the distaff.
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor;
yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household:
for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry;
her clothing is silk and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates,
when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it;
and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing;
and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom;
and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household,
and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously,
but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain:
but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands;
and let her own works praise her in the gates."

THE NAVY HYMN

Eternal Father, Strong to Save

The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!

This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalms 118:24(KJV)

Have a Blessed Lord’s Day!

A Mother's Heart

What is the best thing in the world?
The glory of a flag unfurled;
The azure hue of summer skies;
A child with laughter
in its eyes:
A trusting maiden's innocence;
Good deeds for base
as recompense
Memories with promise sweet;
Love blending hope
without defeat;
A slyvan glen of moss and fern,
Where sun-glow shadows
pale and burn;
White lilies at the water's brink?
A Mother's heart is best, I think.

This was a framed Mother's Day greeting from my Mother to my Grandmother..dated 1923..found among my Mother's things.
On the back my Mother wrote:"Just this verse to let you know
I remember and I love you so.
Happy Mother's Day
Wishing A Blessed Lord's Day To The Canteen

Piper Jane

A Special Angel

Up in heaven a child was ready to be born.
The child asked God,
"I know you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
but how can I survive there?
I am so small and helpless."

God Replied, "I have chosen
a special angel for you there.
She will love you and take care of you."

"Here in heaven, Lord,
I don't do anything but sing and smile.
What will I do on Earth?
I won't know how to sing the songs down there."

"Your angel will sing for you," God replied.
"and she'll teach you how to sing, too.
And you'll learn to laugh as well as smile.
Your angel and I will take care of that."

"But how will I understand what people
say to me? I don't know a single word
of the language they speak!"

"Your angel will say the sweetest things
you will ever hear, and she will teach you,
word by word, how to speak the language."

"And when I want to talk to You....?"

"Your angel will gently place your little
hands together and teach you how.
That's the simplest language of all.
It's called Prayer.

"Who will protect me there, God?"

"Your angel is soft and gentle,
but if something threatens you,
there is not stronger force on Earth
than the power she'll use to defend you.

"I'll be sad not getting to see You anymore."

"I will always be next to you,
even though you can't see Me.
And your angel will teach you
the way to come back to Me if you stray."

Then it was time to go.
Excited voices could be heard from Earth,
anticipating the childs's arrival.
In a hurry, the babe asked softly,

"Oh God, if I must go now,
please tell me my angel's name!"

And God replied,
You will call your angel....
Mommy"

My soldier called today to wish me an early Happy Mother's Day. We had a nice long talk..........it was so good to hear his voice, especially after missing his last couple of calls.

He said a package is en route............I am very curious to see what that will be.

[SandRat]

A special treat for a Special Mom no doubt.

When TheSon was about three he told me that when he was an angel in Heaven he picked me to be his Mommy.
