Great post. Blue Star Mothers of America has been growing for the past two years. I have some Blue Star Banner tags with 1 to 4 stars on them free for the snaging at this link

Anyone with a family member in the service can use them.

EXCELLENT choice of music and graphic, but we expect no less from you - you've spoiled us. :)

[Billie]

Good morning, ladtx. It is a beautiful prayer - Nan and LadyX will be 'taking turns' writing the prayer to close your essays.

Thank you for your FR mail. :)

A really pleasant way to start the morning. Sharing a cup of coffee with friends and sitting in the Texas sunlight.

[Aquamarine]

It worked! Daisyscarlett taught me how to frame my posts AND get the font under it...just in time to compliment the wonderful opening post that you, ladtx, and LadyX created for us here at the Finests.
Thanks Daisy!

That blue star banner looks like it would be fun to quilt . . . .

[FreeTheHostages]

That was very educuational. I had no idea. Thank you.

The Blue and Gold Stars. A very familiar sight when I was a pup.

I have trouble waking up every morning. :) I'm NOT an early riser!

Were you able to click on the link and listen to the wav? I was never a very big fan Of Aaron Tippin until I heard that song "Where The Stars and Stripes and Eagles Fly".

Good morning, armymarinemom. It's very nice to see you here. Thank you for that link, and thank your son(s) and/or daughter(s) for serving our great USA. We would love to include them in our FR Military Prayer List.

God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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; Daisyscarlett; Dansangel; Dutchess; Mama_Bear; and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. 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 decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

I couldn't agree more. : ) Wish we could send some of our sunshine to our FRiends north, and east, of us. They must be so tired of snow and ice.

FR is going slow for me again today, I'll come back later

[LadyX]

It was a thrill to read your essay in advance, ladtx, in order to write a corresponding prayer, having so much meaning to me.
As a grade school child in World War II, those flags were a familiar sight and source of enormous pride for the household.

The prayer thus immediately flowed, comprehending The Star represented His Gift to us.

It now shows you and your wife honor that, producing yet another generation confidently standing in the gap, exemplifying God's love and principles, and willingness to extend them to the oppressed and helpless elsewhere.

By your own example and depth of love for God, Honor and Country, they were shaped.
We here at The Finest are your Family, too, and cover them and you and all military and their families with our prayers.

To you and Mrs. ladtx I extend a heartfelt

*** SALUTE ***

You did a beautiful job! Thank you, Sistah Daisy, for teaching our Music Sistah how to make her graphics even that much more gorgeous! :)

[Billie]

Isn't that a sweet calendar page! The song, "Grow Old Along With Me" is also one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard.
