You know we live in marvelous times... On another thread we were talking old movies & one that came to my mind was an old war movie.

How times have changed. Families often did not know for weeks (if ever) if their loved ones were injured or killed.

Now they know almost immediately & often get email or to talk with them. what a blessing that is.

If the world is still around in a few more generations, one can't help but wonder what new technology will be available.

Letting you know you have been on my mind for quite a few hours since I was aware of your situation & last posted & you & your precious son in my prayers - big time...

there was a van that was stopped on the side of the road.

May her son receive a complete healing.

Vans stopped on the side of roads near convoys should be ascertained to be safe or destroyed before the convoy passes by.

TexKat - Best wishes from all here at the ranch. Please let us know if we can be of any assistance. Does any know his unit?

It's good to hear your son is okay. He has my thanks and appreciation, as do you.

[freeperfromnj]

God bless your son. I'm glad to hear that he's alright.

Blessed be Our Saviour who has shown great mercy to your son. Thank you Jesus for TexKat's son's life. Bring him and all of our soldiers safely home as soon as may be.

Definitely praying, TexKat.

Great NEWS!

FWIW, I am sure that Major K. and the brothers are all over this. They just put away the trash that killed CPL. Watkins.

Oh, our baby, I am so glad God left him with us, what a miracle to be thrown free....and painful too..

Am praying for all of our military, and saying prayers of thanks that our son was spared.

Hugs to you Kat, wish I could be there to give them in person.......

[nw_arizona_granny]

Ping.

Guilty of posting with out reading the entire thread, but the sons and daughters all deserve an extra prayer for this day's work.

How wonderful that TexKats son was spared this day, one has to call it a miracle.

Thank you God for each young ones life you spare.

[Freedom2specul8]

God bless both of you TexKat!! I'm so glad he's going to be okay!

[SuzyQue]

Thank God he's OK.

My brother got back last month, safe and sound. Still have one over there, though.

Dolly....the instant news is a mixed blessing...everytime I heard a chopper was down or Mike's base bombed my heart sank...I remember when ohioWfan's son Eric's base was bombed....Mike was in a position to find out if he was a casuality....these are very trying times for those who wait.

[TexKat]

Thank you Jemian.

Heavenly Father,

Surely You guarded this precious son of Tex Kat. Surely Your angels were given charge over him to keep him in all his ways. Your hand of healing rests upon him and the other brave troops even now as we pray together. Great is Your faithfulness, O Lord, to those who trust in You and in Your unfailing love. We commit these precious loved ones to You, knowing that You are their Keeper. Bring peace to the hearts of those who anxiously wait at home for them. We love You, Father, and trust You to supply their every need. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

[Chieftain]

My prayers and deep appreciation for your son's service and sacrifice, and for your well being as well, my friend.

[Cap Huff]

Prayers of thanks that your son is OK, and prayers for all who continue to be in harms way.

Prayer for Those Who Await a Soldier's Return
~ For TexKat's Son ~

God of all goodness, look with love on those who
wait for the safe return of their loved ones who serve
in the armed forces of their country.

In faith and hope, we turn to you for comfort.

Grant that we may trust in your mercy and send an
angel to sustain us as we await their safe return.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen

[ohioWfan]

Thank you for this, mystery. I will definitely pray!

We just found out that our future daughter-in-law's brother in law was also injured by mortar fire last week.

He got shrapnel in his neck and leg, but has returned to duty.

I'd appreciate prayers for him, too.
