Veteran's Day

i'm late- but didn't forget.

Veteran's Day - our day to recognize and honor those who have served and sacrificed for our country. I know FREEdom is not FREE. I can't even imagine all of what it has cost service men and women, the price they and their families have paid for us to be free in America.

I want to be diligent and faithful in prayer.

Dear God,
Thank you for the men and women who serve our country. Thank you for their commitment and sacrifice. I ask you according to Psalms 91, for the safety of our military personnel. I pray for the people of the war-torn land. May those who call upon your name be saved. Father, please provide for and protect the families of our armed forces. Preserve marriages, cause the hearts of the parents to turn toward their children, the hearts of children to turn towards the fathers and mothers. Provide a support system to hold, uplift and edify those who have been left to raise children by themselves. Comfort the lonely and strengthen the weary.
Thank you for your goodness, your faithfulness- your mercy.
Amen.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for a friend. John 14:13

Thank you Dad for serving our country- you chose to go and serve- Thank you! It's just another reason in the list of "why I love and respect you." xo
