Lamh Foistenach Abu!
I have an email buddy who was a part of the Berlin Airlift. He met a girl there and fell in love. They are still married after all these years. She is ill and bedridden and her beloved husband cares for her round the clock.
He is a hero in more ways than one.
WOW! He certainly is a multi-hero. We thank him, both for his service to our country, and such loving care for his beloved.
I was an air traffic controller stationed in Berlin from 84-88. The AF continued to have a plan to resupply Berlin in the event of another airlift. I remember every month a C-141 from Charleston would fly into Tempelhof for training.
Evening Kathy, Hugs
Whooohooooo on having the thread post.
A friend described his grandmother as one of the greatest influences in his life. Throughout his adult years, he has kept her portrait next to his desk to remind himself of her unconditional love. “I really do believe,” he said, “that she helped me learn how to love.”
Not everyone has had a similar taste of human love, but through Christ each of us can experience being well-loved by God. In 1 John 4, the word love occurs 27 times, and God’s love through Christ is cited as the source of our love for God and for others. “In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (v.10). “We have known and believed the love that God has for us” (v.16). “We love Him because He first loved us” (v.19).
God’s love is not a slowly dripping faucet or a well we must dig for ourselves. It is a rushing stream that flows from His heart into ours. Whatever our family background or experiences in life—whether we feel well-loved by others or not—we can know love. We can draw from the Lord’s inexhaustible source to know His loving care for us, and we can pass it on to others.
In Christ our Savior, we are well-loved.
Thank you, Galz, for this story of extreme heroism and humanitarianism by our wonderful military heroes of long ago.
(((hugs)))
God Bless you for doing your part! :-)
Beautiful!
