The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
It is amazing that so many high performance soldiers are quite successful in politics.
Bible in a Year:
The King will reply, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
His name is Spencer. But everybody calls him “Spence.” He was a state track champion in high school; then he went on to attend a prestigious university on a full academic scholarship. He lives now in one of America’s largest cities and is highly respected in the field of chemical engineering. But if you were to ask Spence his greatest achievements to date, he wouldn’t mention any of those things. He would excitedly tell you about the trips he makes to Nicaragua every few months to check in on the kids and teachers in the tutoring program he helped establish in one of the poorest areas of the country. And he’d tell you how enriched his life has been by serving them.
“The least of these.” It’s a phrase people use in a variety of ways, yet Jesus used it to describe those who, according to the world’s standards, have little or nothing to offer us in return for our service. They are the men and women and children the world often overlooks—if not forgets completely. Yet it’s exactly those people Jesus elevates to such a beautiful status by saying, “Whatever you did [for them], you did for me” (Matthew 25:40). You don’t have to have a degree from a prestigious university to understand Christ’s meaning: serving “the least” is the same as serving Him. All it really takes is a willing heart.
Reflect & Pray
Who comes to mind when you hear the phrase “the least of these”? What’s something you could do for them?
King Jesus, I’m afraid I make serving You harder than it is. Your words are clear—You call me to the least and the littlest, perhaps in Nicaragua or maybe in my neighborhood. Give me courage to serve.
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...a good day? Able to commune with Blue?
A little bit of snow that didn’t stick, and more expected, and a good stiff breeze. BRRRR!!
Cold and wet today, so no Blue.
Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...nice jumping weather?
Hey there, Pro...hope your spring is here to stay.
Our spring is reluctant to show its face. A little snow that didn’t stick. A stiff breeze. Maybe a little more snow tonight. Below freezing all day, but supposed to be headed up overnight.
Good evening, mountainlion...it does seem like many go into politics. But I’m always surprised when they lean to the left.
Has your spring settled in? Mine is still fighting with winter.
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Are you well rested, over your cold, and ready to take on the new week?
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
Hai! (((HUGS))) It was absolutely perfect.
Howdy, Kathy.
There must be a lot of people in Anchorage hoping for no more snow today. The radar shows snow surrounding the area and it looks like there’s a force field keeping it from moving over the city. A big ol’ hole in the middle of all that snow. LOL
Howdy, PRO.
Were you able to get together with your son this weekend for some good times?
I had the great pleasure of meeting Gov. Gordon at book signing event here in Little Rock, Ar.. I sat at his table and enjoyed talking to him, what a great guy.
Son's over for dinner and hanging out tonight.
I hope all is well your way.
