A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

Bless This House

Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.

Thanks Radix for the pancakes. I think I will only have a few since I am having some this weekend. But thanks for going to all the trouble to fix breakfast at the Canteen. I hope the military visitors enjoy the pancakes. I do like coffee with my breakfast, so I will fix me a cup.

GOOD MORNING TO ALL. Hope you enjoy your visit to the Canteen today. Be sure to try the pancakes while you're here as Radix prepared them especially for the Canteen. To our visiting active duty military and allied military, help yourself to all the pancakes and coffee you want. It is free to you. We here at the Canteen make sure the supplies here at the Canteen are free to you. Ain't that right, tonk?

Just wanted to say thank you to my father who is 84 years old today (not in good health - may not see 85). A D-Day veteran - Omaha Beach; 29th Infantry; 116 Reg; Cav Recon. Also, his unit was the first into St.Lo. He says very little about his experience other than; it had to be done & wouldn't want to do it again. His grandchildren got a bit of an idea what he saw/did after seeing Pvt. Ryan - new resoect for grandpa.

Hello Radix! Wonderful thread!! I would like lots and lots of syrup on my pancakes, okay? LOL!

I'll be back later. Gotta get dinner cooking. I suppose people in my house like to eat every once in awhile.

I'm too late for the pancakes but not for the mimosa.
