Oh man...what a picture; how many other children have to feel this way.... As I reflect on this photograph, I see once again that not all the brave leave the "home of the brave" to enter battle; some are required now to be the brave of the home
"How do you tell a Six Year Old, His Daddy Won't be Coming Home, Ever"
It is said a picture is worth a thousand words but it leaves me speechless and tears in my eyes.
We have a long list of good friends whose husbands are deploying
to Iraq next month. One of the wives sent me this. Your prayers are deeply appreciated.
Our Troops deserve our love, our hugs and most powerfully, our prayers.
Prayer Request:
I understand that life in Iraq is very difficult to bear right now. Our troops need our prayers for strength, endurance and safety.
"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen."
When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world.
Please -- of all the gifts you could give a Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine deployed in harm's way, prayer is the very best!!!
