Freedom

It was 70 years ago yesterday that Pearl Harbor was attacked. More than 2,400 Americans were killed and hundreds were wounded. Dozens of Navy vessels were sunk or destroyed. I wanted to remind each of us that freedom is not free it is very costly. I also wanted to remind each of us at this Christmas season to pray for our soldiers on active duty. I can from personal experience remember being away at Christmas time   on active duty. There was no tree, presents, but there was also no family and it was a very sad time. So why not today just stop and pray and be thankful for our soldiers. We can thank our soldiers for protecting our country and our freedoms so we can enjoy a Christmas with our families.

Colossians 4:2  Continue in prayer………..with thanksgiving; Can you hear the silence cry of our Soldiers?

1Thessalonians 5:25  Brethren, pray for us.

Two of my grand children’s dad on Thanksgiving day; somewhere in Afghanistan 20 foot away a mortar came in on them. I thank God they were not killed but the noise from the explosion has caused hearing problems; the next day back in combat. Please pray for his safety along with his fellow soldiers that their hearing will return. This news has not been good for his children. This is just one case of all that is going on so you and I can live in freedom. Have a blessed day and be grateful for where you are and what you have.
