~ God Bless Our Military ~
We ask Lord, that you guide the leaders of our great country in all of their decisions. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decision.
Protect and guide our military Oh Lord; strengthen them in their trials; give them courage to fact the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dutchess; Aquamarine; dansangel, and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nations leaders, all military personnel and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

Do Angels Sleep?
Read: Deut. 30:11-14
The word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. Deuteronomy 30:14
Bible In One Year: Zechariah 13-14; Revelation 21
A friend of mine has a 5-year-old daughter who is on her way to becoming a theologian. One day she asked her father, "Do angels sleep?" After pondering the theological dimensions of her question, he answered, "Yes, I think they might." His daughter moved in with a follow-up question, "Well, then, how do they get their pajamas on over their wings?"
We may be more like that little girl than we think. We never seem to outgrow asking interesting questions that do not need to be answered. It's healthy to be inquisitive, but it isn't healthy to obsess over matters that don't really matter. Such questions may sidetrack us from our faith.
What we need to know about God and His will for us is clearly spelled out in Scripture. The words He spoke through Moses to His people are true for us today. "For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. . . . But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it" (Deuteronomy 30:11,14).
The Bible isn't a riddle; it's a revelation. It tells us all we need to know to be all that God wants us to be in every situation in life. Haddon Robinson
God's Word reveals what we should know
To live for Him each day;
His principles we must commit
To study and obey. Sper
The Bible is as wise in what it leaves unsaid as in what it says.

Thank you for the kind words.
We decided a long time ago that being at home on New Year's is the way to go. Besides, Saturday a.m. is our time to walk the beach at sunrise, so we will be up early!

I remember reading where you and hubby walked on the beach last week at Christmas.
I was day dreaming cause that day it was 17 degrees here.
No beaches to walk when it's that cold. Unless you want to go skating..
We haven't gone out in years and years, safer at home.
