Red. White and Blue -
These Colors Don't Run!
Veterans are the backbone of our nation. No words can ever really express our gratefulness for all they have done for us. Freedom simply is not free. It costs our veterans a huge amount of sacrifice. Sometimes it requires the ultimate sacrifice. The Bible says that no greater love has any man than to lay down his life for another.
In the beautiful song , The Battle Hymn of the Republic, I am remembering these words:
In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea
with a glory in his bosom
that transfigures you and me.
As He died to make men holy,
Let us live to make men free.
His truth is marching on.
Our veterans have lived to make men free. They have given up comforts, family fellowhip and years of their lives. Of course, some valiant servicemen have died to make men free. There was a song a few years ago that had this phrase, referring to our veterans:
All gave some;
Some gave All.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
Thinking of the tragic incident that took place in Fort Hood Army Base this week , I want to pray to our Heavenly Father.
First of all, Lord, help us be aware when there is "a snake in the grass"; when there is an enemy in our midst, who is lying low, undetected, until he is ready to strike.
And Dear God, please bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her and guide her.
God please forgive America.
God save America;
God have mercy upon America;
God bless America.
Thank you, Lord.
A grateful citizen,
Cynthia K.
