Veterans Day



Psalm 33:12 -
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Today we honor, thank, and express our appreciation to all the veterans who have served our country for our freedom.

I found this at Andie's Isle, a beautiful website, Wings of Freedom.

Today is also The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church.




And today is my daughter and son-in-law's anniversary. They got married on Veteran's Day and wanted me to write a song. So here is the song I wrote for them. Click here for the music.

Wedding Day

On this our wedding day, Lord, join us together,
To live in harmony forever and ever.
Teach us to love each other patient and kindly.
Make ours a happy home, a refuge from the storm.
Joyful wedding day, Precious gift of love,
Showers of blessings come down from above.
Joyful wedding day, as we celebrate,
Thank you our Father for this our wedding day.

We vow to love each other now and forever,
In sickness and in health through all our tomorrows.
We need you every day to lead us and guide us.
Keep us forever more in your tender care.
Joyful wedding day, Precious gift of love,
Showers of blessings come down from above.
Joyful wedding day, as we celebrate,
Thank you our Father for this our wedding day.

You are the mighty God, the King of Creation.
Let everything on earth praise and adore you.
Cover us with your hand, your hand of protection.
Fill our hearts with your love, your everlasting love.
Joyful wedding day, Precious gift of love,
Showers of blessings come down from above.
Joyful wedding day, as we celebrate,
Thank you our Father for this our wedding day.
