Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners

A blessed Ninth Sunday after Pentecost (Westerrn)/Eighth Sunday after Pentecost (Orthodox) to all!
Bible in a Year:
Those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable.
TV crews who periodically board the ship, point their cameras on its amazing medical staff, who fix cleft palates and reset club feet. Sometimes they go below deck to interview other crew members, but the work Mick does typically goes unnoticed.
Mick, an engineer, admits being surprised about where he’d been assigned to work—in the ship’s sewage plant. With up to forty thousand liters of waste produced each day, managing this toxic material is serious business. Without Mick tending its pipes and pumps, Africa Mercy’s life-giving operations would stop.
It’s easy to applaud those on the “top deck” of Christian ministry while overlooking those in the galleys below. When the Corinthians elevated those with extraordinary gifts above others, Paul reminded them that every believer has a role in Christ’s work (1 Corinthians 12:7–20), and every gift is important, whether it’s miraculous healing or helping others (vv. 27–31). In fact, the less prominent the role, the greater honor it deserves (vv. 22–24).
Are you a “lower deck” person? Then lift your head high. Your work is honored by God and indispensable to us all.
Reflect & Pray
What happens when you compare your gifts with others? Which “lower deck” person can you affirm the efforts of today?
I’m important to You, God. Thank You for noticing me whether others do or not.
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
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.
God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.
Thanks, unique.
Welcome Troops, Veterans, Families, and Allies!
God Bless You and Keep You Safe.
Thanks, unique, for our troop blessing.
It's day #2 of healing from the Inguina Hernia Correction on Friday. So far so good, the pills seem to be working. Can't drive due to the pills but should be able to resume and when that happens I will go back to the vet and reunite with Gizmo and we may do some in house stuff.
How's everyone doing this morning?
