Praise God for this President! What a moving service today, and beautiful words from our Godly President!

To all: Eric is leaving for Ft. Campbell Monday in preparation for mobilization. He'll be home for part of 5 days before he goes. Thank you for your prayers....

When he told me, I said, "You're in God's hands", and he flashed me a beautiful grin and said "I got peace like a river!"

Many, many {{{{hugs}}}} to you and continual prayer. I just answered your post on the earlier thread. I haven't been online much and didn't realize so much was going on in your life.

ohio, I know I have told you this already, but it makes me a million times more proud to know that your son is courageously and anxiously waiting to serve our country. You have a brave son with a heart of gold and a deep faith in the Lord. "I got peace like a river!" I love it! God bless.

[rintense]

How ya doing, OWF... You and your family are in my prayers. There is no doubt to me that God will be watching over Eric during his deployment.

[rep-always]

Oh, Ohio, you raised a good kid. What a wonderful thing for a young person to say. God bless and protect you and your family.

"When peace like a river
Flows over my soul,
When troubles and sorrows
From life all have flown,
I'll drink from the fountain
That flows deep and wide,
When peace like a river,
Peace like a river,
Peace flows over my soul."

God bless, oWf and family!

Eric's remark says it all. I did what we discussed. Huntsville is having a service tomorrow at noon. I have a stomach virus so don't guess I will get to go. Hubby and older daughter will be going. She gets in from Detroit tomorrow. Our granddaughter has the same thing as Jan and I do.

My brother's National Guard unit was called up today. He also leaves Monday, but for Ft. Collins Colorado. After 2 weeks he'll be off to Kuwait for a minimum of 6 months. He is the father of six children, four still at home. I am praying for peace of mind for him and his family, it's pretty hard for them right now.

Bless your son for his willingness to serve; he is in my prayers as I am praying for all our military personnel.

Beautiful. Hold on to that, dear ohio!

May the LORD guard and protect your son, and all the others who serve.

That's one of my favorite songs.

oWf - while Eric is home, are you going to share the Daily Dose with him so he can see how many of us feel as if we know him and that we're all praying for him.

[baseballmom]

A beautiful service today. This President is blessed with the gift of faith, it will see him through.

"I got peace like a river!"

Ohio, Your Eric is also blessed with the gift of faith. He is indeed, in God's hands. He will be safe and well, and so will you

[DrDeb]

"I've got peace like a river" -- what an incredible young man! I will keep you and Eric in my prayers!

[DietCoke]

**Eric is leaving for Ft. Campbell Monday in preparation for mobilization.

What a wonderful, brave young man. You both will be in my thoughts & prayers. "...peace like a river" ~ That's something to strive for.

[SwatTeam]

What a great son you have. He is in my prayers along with all the other freeper friends and family. They all seem like family. God bless our military men and women.

Okay great ohio..I was fine til I read that. Bless your heart.

[GretchenEE]

I was so pleased to read your report of Eric's "peace like a river." I have the same sense about his deployment.

You hold onto his words, Mom!

I know you are very proud. I know he seems very young to be facing such trials. But he's older than you think. He'll be showing you that.

Psalm 119: 98 Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies,
For they are ever mine.
99 I have more insight than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the aged,
Because I have observed Your precepts.
101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
That I may keep Your word.
102 I have not turned aside from Your ordinances,
For You Yourself have taught me.
103 How sweet are Your words to my taste!
Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 From Your precepts I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.
