Alice

A good friend of mine passed away yesterday and I will miss her dearly. Sometimes it seems that the rain just continues to fall in your life.I guess its the times we are in.
Alice was a friend of my dads and she was a great friend to him and me.She was always there for him. When he went to the nursing home,she was always with me and would take him out and enjoy the day together.If it wasn't for her,he could have died.
She was always checking in on him and I'm so greatful for her.After dad died we went to breakfast at Bob's just like we did when dad was alive.It became more distant because of life getting busy,but we always stayed in touch. My heart is grieving for her, but I know she is enjoying life with Jesus and dad.I know she loved the Lord,she always liked talking about Him. She was one of the last, tough women I ever new.She was a fighter to the end.God bless you Alice for all you have done and now you get your rewards. I will miss you........

Soldiers

Today is a day they say to honor veterans and soldiers. Today and everyday is a day to honor them for making this country free.This country was made great because of the God fearing men and women that started this country. The  soldiers  have come along way in fighting and defending other countries.  This country has always ran to defend those who can't defend themselves. I salute the soldiers of past,present,and future. I hope you know how important you are to all of us.  Freedom rings loud because of your sacrifice and you deserve honor everyday. May the one and only God of the universe bless you  and keep you safe.

  My father and uncles faught in world warII and I'm so proud of them. I'am here today because God blessed America with good soldiers and a great country of people that believed in God.Thats why we are the greatest nation on earth next to Israel. The far of God is the beginning of wisdom. Lets not forget ever the sacrifice  many have  done.Lets keep our great nation God fearing and not allow some president to say we are not a christian nation.I can't believe the people that would even allow that......

God Bless America its our home sweet home..not the government....its we the people. WE THE PEOPLE>>>>stand for this great country...don't let her fall prey to the liberals that want to take your freedoms.  They are blind to truth...Take your stand.

Strength & Hope By George Matheson

By George Matheson----
There are times when  everything looks very dark to me-------so dark that I have to wait before I have hope.Waiting with hope  is very difficult,but true patience is expressed when we must even wait for hope. When we see no hint of success but refuse to , when we see nothing but the darkness  of night  through  our window  yet keep the shutters open  because stars may appear in the sky, and when we hav an empty place in our heart yet will not allow it to be filled with anything less then God's best---- that is the greatest  kind of patience in the universe. It is the story of Job in the midst of the storm,Abraham on the road to Moriah, Moses in the desert of Midian, and the Son of Man in the garden of Gethsemane. There is no patience as strong as that which endures because we see " him who is invisible"(Hebrews 11:27) It is the kind of patience that waits for hope.
  Dear Lord, You have made waiting beautiful and patience divine.You have taught us that  Your will should be accepted, simply because it is Your will. You have  revealed to us that a person may see nothing but sorrow in his cup yet  still be willing to drink it because of  a conviction that  Your eyes see further then his own.
Father, give me Your divine power---- the power of Gethsemane. Give me the strength to wait for hope---to look through the window when there are no stars. Even when my joy is gone, give me strength to stand victoriously in the darkest night and say, "To  my Heavenly Father, the sun still shines".    I will  have reached the  point of greatest  strength once I have learned to wait for hope.  Strive to be one of the few who walk this earth with the ever present  realization--
every morning , noon, an night that the unknown that people call heaven is directly behind  those things  that are visible.   (Galatians 5:5 )   By faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope.
