Hi Kathy, thanks for tonight's Canteen and remembering the important, world-changing event that was D-Day!

Howdy, Kathy.

Nice to see y’all get some rain at long last.

Be back shortly. Just called in for a pizza and am heading out to pick it up.

Howdy, Allegra.

Isn’t it wonderful that as many D-Day Vets were able to travel to Normandy as there were? They are not young men.

Give Thanks to God

Bible in a Year :

• 2 Chronicles 25-27
• John 16

When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.

Luke 24:30

My friend hurried from her stressful job at the hospital, wondering what she would prepare for dinner before her husband returned from his equally demanding job. She had made chicken on Sunday and served leftovers on Monday. Then, they had yet another round of chicken—this time baked—on Tuesday. She found two pieces of fish in the freezer, but she knew the fillets weren’t her husband’s favorite. Not finding anything else she could prepare in just a few minutes, she decided the fish would have to do.

As she placed the dish on the table, she said somewhat apologetically to her husband who had just arrived home: “I know this isn’t your favorite.” Her husband looked up and said, “Honey, I’m just happy we have food on the table.”

His attitude reminds me of the importance of being grateful and thankful for our daily provisions from God—whatever they are. Giving thanks for our daily bread, or meals, models Jesus’ example. When He ate with two disciples after His resurrection, Christ “took bread, gave thanks, [and] broke it” (Luke 24:30). He thanked His Father as He had earlier when He’d fed the five thousand with five “loaves and two small fish” (John 6:9). When we give thanks for our daily meals and for other provisions, our gratitude reflects Jesus’ ways and honors our heavenly Father. Let’s give thanks to God today.

Reflect & Pray

How often do you show your thanks to Jesus? How does it honor Him to do so?

God of all, thank You for my daily bread and all the other needs You meet for me.

Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

Remembering D-Day!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...world-changing event for sure.

[Songcraft]

Thanks for the pictures, narratives, and songs you post there, Kathy.   The song I posted ("Over There") was written for WWI, but was actually popular in both World Wars.   My Dad went into Normandy to fight several weeks after the D-Day invasion with the 6th Armored Division, and, later, when we were growing up, we would occasionally hear him singing that song.

Here's another version of that song.   (See the note that the poster of this youtube video included with the song, which says "'Over There' is a 1917 song written by George M. Cohan that was popular with the United States military and public during both world wars.   It is a patriotic song designed to galvanize American young men to enlist and fight the 'Hun'.   The song is best remembered for a line in its chorus: 'The Yanks are coming.'")

Another version of that song:   "Over There".

Hey there, Kathy.

You’re more than welcome to it. I “borrowed” it to begin with. LOL It’s such a beautiful pic, I couldn’t resist.

[radu]

It warms mine too. Almost brought tears to my eyes when I spotted it. It’s also heart-warming to read and hear reports about the heroes welcome they’ve gotten while over there. They richly deserve it.
