8 Days and Back to Normal

It's been 8 days since we celebrated our Independence Day. The fireworks were great, the food even better, but how many people spent time that day thinking and praying for our soldiers? Probably a lot. An even better question is 8 days later how many are praying and being grateful for our soldiers protecting our freedom? Would it change anything if you had a son or daughter in Iraq right now? Of course it would. Maybe it would help us pray more for our troops and constantly be grateful for their sacrifice if we thought about having one of our loved ones serving in the heat of battle right now.

To all of our troops both serving here and abroad: Thank you for your faithful service to our country. Thank you for protecting not just my freedom but for protecting me. Thank you for providing a safe life for my children free from evil. Thank you for putting your life on the line. May God bless you and protect you. May He be with you and watch over you. And may all of us back here reaping the benefits of your daily sacrifice never take a moment of freedom for granted.

God bless our troops. God bless our President. And may God bless America.
