God Bless our troops, families, and Canteeners. God Bless our Canadian, Israeli, British, Kiwi, and Aussie
Brothers and Sisters in arms. And for our other Allies that I didn't mention as well.

Please stop in and say a prayer of protection for the military. Prayers from all denominations are needed.

Therefore, right now rest in the Almighty's scheme of things, determined to become less and less strained about the end result.

THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE! LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT!!!

HAPPY LORD'S DAY TO ALL!

I want to thank you all for your prayers and well wishes for my father and for my family.

I spoke with my sister yesterday and she told me that Dad was home and resting, he seems to be doing okay. My mom has to make an appointment for him to see his doctor on Monday to see what can be done to make his heart stop acting so "goofy". My sister also told me that they had to increase his medication.

But all praise goes to God! and to FREEPER prayers! :^)

KATHY, Thanks for including the Canadian flag in your lineup of allies!

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Morning all....here's some coffee for ya!

Beautiful prayers and images, all....IF you would allow me, I'd like to share some of my thoughts I had this morning...

I was walking my doggie and she was pouncing around playing, I noticed the grass is FINALLY getting green again, and the willow trees are budding green, as we walked by the lake I watched the ducks & geese swim around carelessly and I thought about all that I had to do today (you know, busy me) still have that 100 pages of research to read, and 2 essays to write, and a little cleaning left and study group today for school..the sky was so blue and I wished I could just have a lazy day...then all of the sudden I remembered we were at war, and I thought about our service members across the world and what THEY have to face today and I felt guilty for wanting to just laze around...and then I felt sad that they were sacraficing every simple little thing about life that we take for granted every day and I cried for my selfishness as much as for our troops....and I said a Massive prayer pleading with God to keep all of them safe from further harm, and protect those that are MIA and POW. Anyhow...just my thoughts this morning.

Just catching this late in the day. God bless our troops and keep the home fires burning.

Father we come before You to ask for those deployed in the land of Iraq. May Your eyes be upon them to deliver and protect them.

Let hope rise in the hearts of those who are imprisioned, send your angels to camp around them . Deliver them from the evil one. Protect their lives, may faith arise in them at this hour to focus all hope and trust in You. You are our hope and strenght. You are our high tower of refuge and safety. Extend Your wings and shelter them. Let them know at this hour that they are not alone.

Let every man and woman deployed in there know that there are more those who stand with them at this hour than those who stand against them. Deliver them safely home.

Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire beside thee.
My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
Psalm 73:25-26

Tonk, I received this poem today and thought it was worth sharing:
Subject: THE FINAL INSPECTION

> The soldier stood and faced God
> Which must always come to pass
> He hoped his shoes were shining
> Just as brightly as his brass.

> > "Step forward now, you soldier,
> How shall I deal with you?
> Have you always turned the other cheek?
> To My Church have you been true?"

> > The soldier squared his shoulders and
> said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't
> Because those of us who carry guns
> Can't always be a saint.

> > I've had to work most Sundays
> And at times my talk was tough,
> And sometimes I've been violent,
> Because the world is awfully rough.

> > But, I never took a penny
> That wasn't mine to keep...
> Though I worked a lot of overtime
> When the bills got just too steep,

> > And I never passed a cry for help,
> Though at times I shook with fear,
> And sometimes, God forgive me,
> I've wept unmanly tears.

> > I know I don't deserve a place
> Among the people here,
> They never wanted me around
> Except to calm their fears.

> > If you've a place for me here, Lord,
> It needn't be so grand,
> I never expected or had too much,
> But if you don't, I'll understand."

> > There was a silence all around the throne
> Where the saints had often trod
> As the soldier waited quietly,
> For the judgment of his God,

> > "Step forward now, you soldier,
> You've borne your burdens well,
> Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
> You've done your time in Hell."

> > > To all that serve or have served

I am just sorry that I didn't have this Sunday. God Bless our military.
