REQUEST PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD

All Together Now
November 14, 2016
With one mind and one voice . . . glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:6
While Nicholas Taylor was boarding a train in Perth, Australia, his leg became wedged in the gap between the platform and a commuter car. When safety officials could not free him, they coordinated the efforts of nearly 50 passengers who lined up and, on the count of three, pushed against the train. Working in unison, they shifted the weight just enough to free Taylors leg.
The apostle Paul recognized the power of Christians working together in many of his letters to the early churches. He urged the Roman believers to accept each other the way Christ had accepted them and said, [May God] give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 15:56).
Unity with other believers enables us to broadcast Gods greatness and also helps us to endure persecution. Knowing that the Philippians would pay a price for their faith, Paul encouraged them to strive together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you (Phil. 1:2728).
Satan loves to divide and conquer, but his efforts fail when, with Gods help, we make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace (Eph. 4:3).
Dear God, please let Christians everywhere experience the blessing of unity in You. Remind us of what we have in common: one hope, one faith, and one LordJesus Christ.
Our unity comes from our union with Christ.
The Roman believers were in need of building on the sense of unity they enjoyed. Our reading for today concludes on an essential ingredient in interpersonal relationships, that of acceptance. Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. Certainly a subtle sensing of rejection will inhibit all healthy relationships. We are to accept others as Christ has accepted us

Hi Kathy! Thank you for the new thread!
To: Kathy in Alaska
thank you for this inspiring post Canteen Team!
and in honor of some very brave UK men indeed, whom i hope now to meet in heaven one day, and their durable ship HMS Glowworm: here’s a great American song by one of our finest writers, Johnny Mercer (and sung by all the great vocalists including the Mills Brothers).
Glow Worm Johnny Mercer
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer
Lead us lest too far we wander
Love’s sweet voice is calling yonder
Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer
Hey, there don’t get dimmer
Light the path below, above
And lead us on to love!
Glow little glow-worm, fly of fire
Glow like an incandescent wire
Glow for the female of the species
Turn on the AC and the DC
This night could use a little brightnin’
Light up you little ol’ bug of lightnin’
When you gotta glow, you gotta glow
Glow little glow-worm, glow
Glow little glow-worm, glow and glimmer
Swim through the sea of night, little swimmer
Thou aeronautical boll weevil
Illuminate yon woods primeval
See how the shadows deep and darken
You and your chick should get to sparkin’
I got a gal that I love so
Glow little glow-worm, glow
Glow little glow-worm, turn the key on
You are equipped with taillight neon
You got a cute vest-pocket Mazda
Which you can make both slow and fazda
I don’t know who you took a shine to
Or who you’re out to make a sign to
I got a gal that I love so
Glow little glow-worm, glow
Put on a show worm
Glow little glow-worm, glow

Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
A beautiful - and ruddy, due to the smoke - super duper moon glows over TN.

Cannot thank you, Free Republic and the Robinson’s enough for being so steadfast in paying tribute to our soldiers service, valor and sacrifice loss.
Like our veterans, you all are amongst the best American’s I know.
Stay safe, well, strong, fearless and outspoken.

Good morning, Canteen.
Good morning to our
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Star, for preparing
the Canteen for today's activities.
HMS Glowworm seemed to function under Murphy's Law.
No gym this week as I am watching
the youngest granddaughter while her mother
is on travel and her daddy works.
She's 2 and although her vocabulary is good,
it's been a while since I had to decipher baby talk.
I sure hope this week doesn't throw off my gym schedule too much
as I was getting used to going 3 mornings a week.
Don't want to fall into the habit of making excuses
not to go (and the cold mornings will do it LOL).
But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!
The FR Canteen is
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
Well, off to do grandmother stuff. LOL
Have a great Monday, y'all.
REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.
