From Xerox ~ Let's Say Thanks to our Troops
Simple. Easy. Involve your kids.
We can each send thanks every single day.
I worked there 20 years, lived in the area for 30. It was a great place to work and to raise a family.
While speaking to a group of Christian athletes, I asked them how they normally responded to hardships. Their responses included fear, anger, self-pity, aggression, despair, abusive behavior, apathy, and turning to God. I encouraged them to trust that God would comfort them and then use them to comfort others.
Just as I encouraged those athletes, Paul encouraged a group of believers in a town called Corinth. He reminded them that afflictions were inevitable for the follower of Jesus. Many were being persecuted, imprisoned, and oppressedall because of their relationship with Jesus. Paul wanted the Corinthians to know that in the midst of their trouble God was their source of help. He would come to their side and help them to have godly responses. Then Paul gave one of the reasons God allowed suffering and brought divine comfortso that the Corinthians might have the empathy to enter into other peoples sorrow and comfort them (2 Cor. 1:4).
When we suffer, let us remember that God will bring comfort to us through His Word, by the Holy Spirit, and through fellow believers. God does not comfort us so that well be comfortable; we are comforted by God so that we might be comforters.
Thanks for the great road trip, Lauren!
Hope you are doing well! ((((hugs))))...I’ve missed you!

Evening, Lauren, Kathy.
Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our AWESOME military, our allies, and their families
Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for todays activities.
Now for our local DC Metroland weather report
~ Today....Rain early...then remaining cloudy with showers in the afternoon. High 69F. Winds NNE at 10 to 20 mph. Rainfall near a half an inch.
~ Tonight....Showers this evening becoming less numerous overnight. Low 62F. Winds NNE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 50%.
I suppose you know that I really don't want to be back at work today, right? I mean, I can think of better things to do with my time. Oh, well, at least it's Tuesday....
We're in for some rain most of the week, it appears. And, cooler temps. But, those are welcomed.
Looks like some really wicked weather around the country. Hope none of the FReepers have been affected by any of it.
Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.
Alrighty, we're coming up on the final days of the fiscal year so I will probably get a little busier as the days and weeks go by.
Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. And, remember Ill be watching!
Now remember, the Canteen is
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
