I pray that you are all well, blessed, safe, that your hearts are filled with love, joy and happiness.
Today we are on the eve of a celebration that many have lost the meaning of and many have never known or understood.
We will commemorate and honor those that answered the call to service of this great Nation, this wonderful country that we call home. We will show gratitude to those that placed themselves in danger to defend the freedoms that we enjoy on a daily basis.. The ones that we at times take for granted.
Veterans Day is a day that we as Americans have set aside to show our appreciation to the patriots that served as our defenders and protectors of our way of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
On This Veterans day, take the time to reach out, shake a hand, give a warm smile and tender hug to our most gracious Patriots and tell them Thank you and welcome home.
Mighty Man of Valor
Across the horizon, enemy troops are arrayed.
I look at their numbers. I feel afraid.
They've been blocking me a long,long time,
Hindering my purpose, turning my mind.
Where is my faith?
"Father!" I cry ." I really believe!
Father! I'm stalling! Increase my faith!
I say I know You as a Mighty God.
Yet I've stood here paralyzed all this time."
Were is my faith?
OH!LITTLE CHILD I KNOW WHAT YOU SEE.
I'M HERE RIGHT BESIDE YOU. I KNOW YOU LOVE ME.
I'M HERE RIGHT BESIDE YOU. JUST TAKE MY HAND.
WITH ME RIGHT BESIDE YOU THOSE TROOPS CAN NOT STAND.
TAKE ONE STEP.
YOU SEE? MY DEAR CHILD, YOU'VE MADE IT THIS FAR.
YOU HEAR THE ENEMY SHOUTING BUT YOUR NOT REALLY HARMED.
I'M HERE RIGHT BESIDE YOU. YOU,RE MY DEARESTOF FRIENDS.
NOW! BELOVED.....STEP AGAIN.
The enemy's roar is filling my mind.
I feel myself falter. My eyes have gone blind.
I step and I stumble. I feel myself fall.
Then....The Big Warm Hand of Father
Engulfs me all !!!!!!!
I fell myself rising. My strength is renewed!
I see the MOST GIANT WARRIOR.....you wouldn't believe !
I see the enemy tumble like pins before a ball!
Oh Mighty Savior! You've really done it all!
Like mist before the bright morning sun
or chaff before a hurricane wind;
The Shadows flee before His Light;
Annihilated!
OH!MIGHTY MAN OF VALOR!
BEHOLD THE POWER OF HIM WHO LOVES YOU SO!
PLACE YOUR HAND IN HIS AND STEP!
THERE ISN'T ANYWHERE YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO
GO!

That you Lord, bless us with the Attributes necessary to return us as a Nation back to our roots and foundation as people and country under God. God Almighty, bless us with the strength, wisdom and courage to do what is right and righteous in the eyes of Your Grace and peoples of the world. Father, we give You all Glory, Honor and Praise and ask for Your mercy for our weaknesses and transgressions as a Nation and people. Abba, Please place Angels of protection around those that are deployed around the world and in harms way, bring them home safely to their loved ones, Lord.
