Pray For Our Troops

My friend, Maxine, at Nanna's Relections, recently reminded us to support our troops. Her friend, Sandra, suggested that bloggers support the troops by posting something about them and praying for them and their families.

God Bless our troops who are fighting for our freedom in such a dangerous country. I had heard that they were tired and discouraged, but tonight on Huckabee's program, Col North said that they are in good spirits, hoping to win the war. Lord, God, protect them and fight for them. Be with their families to strengthen and encourage them. We love and appreciate our troops.

Psalm 91

1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Christ Hath Made Us Free

Galatians 5:1
The liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free.


This "liberty" makes us free to heaven's charter-the Bible. Here is a choice passage, believer, "When thou passest through the rivers, I will be with thee." You are free to that. Here is another: "The mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee"; you are free to that. You are a welcome guest at the table of the promises. Scripture is a never-failing treasury filled with boundless stores of grace. It is the bank of heaven; you may draw from it as much as you please, without let or hindrance. Come in faith and you are welcome to all covenant blessings. There is not a promise in the Word which shall be withheld. In the depths of tribulations let this freedom comfort you; amidst waves of distress let it cheer you; when sorrows surround thee let it be thy solace. This is thy Father's love-token; thou art free to it at all times. Thou art also free to the throne of grace. It is the believer's privilege to have access at all times to His heavenly Father. Whatever our desires, our difficulties, our wants, we are at liberty to spread all before Him. It matters not how much we may have sinned, we may ask and expect pardon. It signifies nothing how poor we are, we may plead His promise that He will provide all things needful. We have permission to approach His throne at all times-in midnight's darkest hour, or in noontide's most burning heat. Exercise thy right, O believer, and live up to thy privilege. Thou art free to all that is treasured up in Christ-wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. It matters not what thy need is, for there is fulness of supply in Christ, and it is there for thee. O what a "freedom" is thine! freedom from condemnation, freedom to the promises, freedom to the throne of grace, and at last freedom to enter heaven!

Happening in Our Country

I have tried to keep politics separate from my blog, but today there are a few articles I want to share with you. I do keep the Fox news on most of the time, and I read about news on the internet, in addition to all my blog browsing. I believe since I have gotten my computer, I have become an activist. I found these articles in The Source Daily.

One of my friends said there should be an outcry about this. She said if it had been a Muslim, it would be all over the news. I have some crosses in my windows that may offend someone, especially an atheist. If this can happen at a government owned property, couldn't it be possible that our homes might later be included?

Obama: America is 'no longer Christian' -
Democrat says nation also for Muslims, nonbelievers

Atheist to town: Remove religious symbols -

Homeschoolers' fate hangs on hearing results -

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.
