OUR SOLDIERS

Lady of Light

We are so blessed to live in a country where we have freedom of religion and can
attend church, read the bible and share our faith. Let us not forget to pray for our soldiers who give their lives to protect our country and to preserve those rights.
I offer you a poem that I was inspired to write:

SOLDIERS

You leave your friends, your loved ones and your families behind,

No one could possibly imagine the things that go through your mind,

As you are continuously making sacrifices to defend our country,

Constantly facing a near death experience.

The courage God has gifted you with

Is a true blessing to those in our country

Back home, living safe and happy lives.

While you are out there in the front line

Hoping and praying that everything will be fine.

God will give you your reward some day

In the meanwhile, I can pray

For you, your families and all whom you love,

Will be held forever in the Everlasting arms

Of our God Above.


In the book of Philippians, it tells us:

"Look not every man on his own things, but also on the things of others."
Philippians 4:2

I just heard today on Charles Stanley's broadcast that In Touch Ministries is
sending spiritual materials to the troops. If you are interested in doing something
like that, go to Intouch.org and see what you can do to contribute.

There are many ways to help the soldiers but the most important is to give them the gift of your prayers.

Have A Great Day!

Lady of Light
