So many have laid down their life for their countrymen, family, and nation. We owe our freedoms to them-from the Revolutionary War soldiers to those fighting the hateful ones in present-day battles. We should pray daily for our soldiers and their families. Probably every family in our country has currently or has had in the past a family member serving in our military. It is such a sacrifice.

I am reminded of the verses in John 15:12-13 where Jesus said,
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Are we living a sacrificial life? Are we laying down our life in love to serve our commander-in-chief, Jesus Christ? Are you paying the price as you stand up for Christian values and Biblical principles? Keep on dear friends. How else will the world see and feel the love of Jesus, if not through His followers. Let us continue to carry the sword, fighting against evil, until Jesus returns. We are soldiers of the One True King, Jesus.

Share and care.
Live and give.

Got to go put flowers on my hero's grave, my dad. As I have said before, he fought in WWII, stepped on a mine in France, lost a leg, while fighting for America's freedoms. Growing up I didn't realize what he had gone through for me. I didn't tell him that he was my hero. We should express our gratitude to people and the Lord for allowing us to live in a free nation. Others do not have that privilege. They are told to follow a certain religion.

Pray for our vets. They bring home with them emotional and physical problems.
Thank those who are serving in our military.

I will continue our study tomorrow in Leviticus.
Enjoy your free day.

Let's give thanks to our God for those who gave their lives so we can enjoy our freedoms and be protected from the evil ones. So many have died, from the Revelotutionary War to the Civil War,
to the World War I & II, to Korea, to Viet Nam, to the Persian Gulf War, to the terroriests attacks.

Love does that-it gives whatever is needed in order to protect loved ones.
I am thankful for my dad's buddy who marched out of line, in Dad's place, and was shot by a
snipper in France. Later, Dad stepped on a mine in the field there and lost his left leg below the
knee. Although he suffered greatly throughout the years, he said he'd go again if his country needed him. A 23 year old whose life was changed forever and his family's, too.

So stay in the spiritual battle, friends. It will one day be over, and we win. Jesus will triumph over evil! We will be forever changed and taken to a new home in heaven.

Have a restful weekend, friends. Stay safe. Praying for our Oklahoma neighbors and soldiers in
Arab countries.

In His Love,
Linda
