FReeper Canteen ~ Sunday Chapel ~ AIM HIGH ~ 05 February 2023
Serving The Best Troops and Veterans In The World !! | The Canteen Crew

AIM HIGH


A college professor prepared a final exam for his students. The test questions were divided into three categories, and the students were instructed to choose questions from only one of the categories. The first category of questions was the hardest and worth fifty points. The second, which was easier, was worth forty points. The third, the simplest, was worth thirty points.

Upon completion of the test, students who had chosen the hardest fifty-point questions were given As.

The students who had chosen the forty-point questions received Bs.

Those who had settled for the easiest thirty-pointers were given Cs.

Some of the students were frustrated with the grading of their papers and asked the professor what he was looking for. The professor leaned over the podium, smiled, and explained, "I wasn’t testing your book knowledge. I was testing your aim".

Robert Kriegel put it this way: "The key is to have a dream that inspires you to go beyond your limits".

I Can Only Imagine

Bible in a Year:

The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

Ecclesiastes 12:7

I settled into the church pew behind a woman as the worship team began playing “I Can Only Imagine.” Raising my hands, I praised God as the woman’s sweet soprano voice harmonized with mine. After telling me about her health struggles, we decided to pray together during her upcoming cancer treatments.

A few months later, Louise told me she feared dying. Leaning onto her hospital bed, I rested my head next to hers, whispered a prayer, and quietly sang our song. I can only imagine what it was like for Louise when she worshiped Jesus face-to-face just a few days later.

The apostle Paul offered comforting assurance for his readers who were facing death (2 Corinthians 5:1). The suffering experienced on this side of eternity may cause groaning, but our hope remains anchored to our heavenly dwelling—our eternal existence with Jesus (vv. 2–4). Though God designed us to yearn for everlasting life with Him (vv. 5–6), His promises are meant to impact the way we live for Him now (vv. 7–10).

As we live to please Jesus while waiting for Him to return or call us home, we can rejoice in the peace of His constant presence. What will we experience the moment we leave our earthly bodies and join Jesus in eternity? We can only imagine!

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

SAY HEY, KATHY,

SHAVUAH TOV! JUST GOT BACK TO THE WORLD.

SAW A HEADLINE THAT IMPLIED THE BIG GUY ORDERED THE CHICOM BALLOON SHOT DOWN...OR HE NODDED OUT AND WAS TOLD ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS. FIRST THING HE DID WAS ASK, “WHAT BALLOON?”

NOW FOR SOME REALITY...DROPPED TO -5* HERE LAST NIGHT!!! AND YOU’RE THE ONE LIVING IN ALASKA!!! IS IT TRUE THAT YOU DON’T HAVE GROUNDHOGS IN ALASKA SO YOU GET TOGETHER AND THROW TORCHES INTO THE CAVE OF A HIBERNATING GRIZZLY?

ALSO SAW WHERE THAT GLOBAL LEADER/MILITARY GENIUS IN THE UKRAINE WANTS NATO TO THROW SOME PREEMPTIVE NUKES AT RUSSIA. WHAT COULD GO WRONG???

BOYCOTTING THE NEWS BECOMES MORE ATTRACTIVE EVERY DAY! :-)

Thanks. I appreciate that.

I’m trying different braces and compression products. When one really works for me, I will send you a link.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

Howdy, Kathy.

I see it snowed some MORE this morning. Not as hard as yesterday at least. Now the sun’s shining and the mountains are gleaming in the sunset with their fresh coat of snow.
I hope you got everything done in town without any hassles on the streets.
