I have been working on a Veteran’s Day Slideshow for church, for about a month now! Veteran’s Sunday was this past Sunday at church. I was trilled when I was asked to put together this slideshow, because this subject means so much to me. All of the church members were asked to bring in pictures of them in their uniforms…..it was so neat to get to see all of the pictures. Some where really old pictures and some were more recent. The slideshow turned out GREAT and I had a great time doing it. So, I have been thinking about this day for a month now.
I cannot tell you how much these men and women mean to me. I have never met even half of them, but they are amazing! I just wanted to take a minute and THANK each and every one of the men and women that risk their life for me. They are not soldiers they are HEROS! They are my hero. I know several people that are serving our country or that their spouse is serving our country. I cannot say THANK YOU enough. Thank you to the spouses too….without your help your spouse couldn’t do it. You are supportive of their decision to serve. It must be hard, but you are there for them. I know it is just a TV show, but I cry every time I watch Army Wives! You are amazing! For those of you that are serving our county…..I truly love you and I am just in AWWW over your sacrifices that you make daily. Thank you for doing what you do. You are a HERO in my book. God Bless you all!
I think we as “civilians” take for granted everyday the work that you do for us. I say “civilians” because I hear that all the time from people that are serving. Without you men and women some of us might not be here today! I don’t believe that there are strong enough words in the English language to say…..I know THANK YOU just doesn’t cut it my book.
Just promise me this….every time you someone in uniform, take a minute just to say thank you. I know Eli & I do. There is a local store here in
As some of you may know Eli lost his best friend earlier this year. He was in the Marines. He was killed in a car wreck, but he loved the Marines! He was a great man. I just went back and read my blog about when was taken for this world and I started to cry all over again! Jason THANKS for doing what you did and loving every minute of it. You were a very loved man and I think about you daily, as do many people I am sure. On this day I think of you more! RIP Jason Murdock.
A Veteran’s Day Prayer
Dear Lord,
Today we honor our veterans,
worthy men and women
who gave their best
when they were called upon
to serve and protect their country.
We pray that you will bless them, Lord,
for their unselfish service
in the continual struggle
to preserve our freedoms, our safety,
and our country’s heritage, for all of us.
Bless them abundantly
for the hardships they faced,
for the sacrifices they made
for their many different contributions
to
over tyranny and oppression.
We respect them, we thank them,
we honor them, we are proud of them,
and we pray that you will watch over
these special people
and bless them with peace and happiness.
In Jesus’ name we pray; Amen.
