Little Things
December 7, 2010

A medical school program in New York gives students who are training for geriatric medicine a unique opportunity. They experience life as nursing home residents for 10 days. They learn some of the struggles of maneuvering a wheelchair and being raised out of bed with a lift, as well as reaching the shower bar from a seated position. One student learned how little things counted for a lot—like lowering nameplates on doors so that patients can find their rooms more easily, or putting the TV remote in a reachable location.

Although the students still can’t fully relate, they will be better able to serve the elderly in their future work.

Sometimes God gives us the opportunity to use the lessons we’ve learned and the comfort He’s given us during difficult times to help others in special ways. Paul indicated this when he wrote: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble” (2 Cor. 1:3-4).

Are you using the lessons you’ve learned in your trials to touch the lives of others? Remember—even little things can mean a lot.

The comfort God has given us
He wants us now to share
With others who are suffering
So they will sense His care. —Sper

God doesn’t comfort us to make us comfortable;
He comforts us to make us comforters.

Read: 2 Corinthians 1:3-7

The Father of mercies and God of all comfort . . . comforts us in all our tribulation. —2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Daniel 5-7; 2 John

I picked up my first ship in the Philippines and after a trip to Australia and New Zealand we preceded to our homeport of Pearl Harbor, HI. We arrived during the filming of Tora, Tora, Tora and it was almost overwhelming to see Japanese Zeros flying over us as we entered the channel. I was unaware that the film was being made ... an experience I will never forget. LOL!

Good Evening To The Canteen

[Ciexyz]

We still remember and honor those brave heroes.

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Lauren, Kathy. A day worth remembering.

[Ron C.]

I was just 72 days old when the attack on Pearl Harbor came.

But, at just 3 years old I was fully aware of the war and its consequences (I saw many of the wounded that came home) - and about a year later, at 4 years old, I saw thousands of war-planes flying into El Paso, Tx to be 'retired' after the war.

That was quite a spectacle - with literally hundreds of planes (of every kind of warplane there was at the time) in the air - all day long, every day, for weeks on end.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our AWESOME military, our allies, and their families

Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

Gosh, time flies. Seems not long ago we were remembering this Day.

Yeah boy, I am really behind posting schedule this morning. Work got in the way.

~ Today...COLD

~ Tonight...COLD

Here's a little snippet from the Farmer's Almanac...

...Farmers’ Almanac predicts that Old Man Winter will exhibit a “split personality.” The eastern third of the country, (New England down to Florida and as far west as the lower Ohio River and Mississippi River Valley), will experience colder-than-normal winter temperatures. Across New England, where relatively balmy temperatures prevailed during the winterof 2009–2010, the upcoming winter will be the equivalent of a cold slap in the face, as we forecast much colder-than-normal temperatures.
three storm tracks are expected...One will be across the Gulf Coast and Southeast...second storm...across southwestern Canada into the Great Lakes, producing a procession of fast-moving “Alberta Clipper”(as systems move off the Atlantic Coast, colder-than normal conditions will move into much of the East...third in the Pacific region

Time to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. And, remember – I’ll be watching!

So, come on in and sit for a while.

There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

[stevie_d_64]

Thanks Pa-Paw for all you did that day and throughout the war...What we see these days in Black and White...You saw it there in Color...

I know Granny just arrived, and hopefully you two are cutting a rug like you used too, smile on us and give us strength to keep on with the fight...

I hope I will always be worthy of yours and other sacrifices during that challenging time in your lives...

[SoldierDad]

Dear FRiends,

I feel as if I have troubled you much lately with prayer requests. Unfortunately I have yet another one. I just learned that my older sister's 7 year old granddaughter, Adalay, suffered severe burns and is at UCSD Hospital. I do not not much in the way of details just yet. I request strong prayers for this little girl as she goes through the ordeal of recovering from the burns. I thank you all in advance for your prayers.

Kathy In Alaska and fatima, I would greatly appreciate alerting the prayer warriors on FR and for on-the-air prayers. SD
