Show Gratitude to Our Military Personel

Sorry I have not posted in a few days. We have been very busy as we are preparing for District Conference here this week. I was speaking to Danny Hamm our Youth Pastor on Sunday. He told me he was working 12 hours a day I told him that I was up at 3:30am and off to work then stop by the church and leave there about 9pm. He informed me that I was pushing 18 hour days, I almost collapsed in the aisle at church with that news! LOL!! So it is raining hard here now and I thought I had better catch up in the blog world! HA!!

It looks like I got caught on my own "Speed Bump" !! LOL!!

I have seen our soldiers getting off planes and walking down the street in uniforms and I wanted many times to show my gratitude to them. They pay a very high price being out on the front lines and away from family. They miss a lot of birthdays and holidays as well.

So if you click on the above title you can watch a short video explaining how to "sign " to someone that you are thankful for what they are doing and the great sacrifices that they are making for our country.

Our service men are so precious and deserve all the respect and honor we can give them.

I appreciate your thinking of them today...and reminding the rest of us.

Bless you and your wife as you work for our Saviour.

Shirley, May God bless you as well! It has been awhile since I heard from you. I hope all is well for you. Pray for us that God will give us strength to run on.

I was wondering if everything was okay. It sounds like you need a couple days off to just catch up on some much needed rest.

Thanks for sharing the video. We need to honor and thank our military men and women.

Jana, Thanks for your concern. We will be going to Washington DC next Saturday for a "day off"! We will be meeting my sister and her husband along with Jimmy and Shirley Price from the Apopka, Fla church.
