Into the Fire

Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

 

Veterans, we salute you. We honor your service to this great country. We celebrate the sacrifice you've made to help us remain free. We will never forget how God used you to fight for liberty even when it goes unappreciated, mocked, insulted, or misunderstood. You keep our country from falling as others have. You protect us even when some of us fail to realize how important and honorable your service is to all of us. You go to the ends of the earth to keep us safe. We are small in your presence.

Father, these men and women need your divine direction and protection. Those who have yet to know you, please make yourself known to them. Watch over them, God. Jesus, help them to see your sacrifice so that they'll know you understand. Holy Spirit, keep pursuing them like they do the enemy. Save them, Lord God Almighty. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    Amen, Nicole. I had the honor to serve with the Navy from 1986 through 1991 and while I never was in harm’s way, I am in eternal gratitude to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

    Thank you for your service, Kirk. Everyone who serves matters. Everyone who values the USA counts, especially those who defend her.

    Thanks for those words, Nicole. My husband is a veteran, a Navy pilot, who sat with my 94-year-old uncle a few days ago, listening to sea stories from my uncle’s days commanding ships during WWII. My father had stories of being a Marina pilot, my step-father of serving as a Navy navigator. My son is an navigator/EWO in the USAF. Another uncle died in the war.
    My family is certainly not unique, but I’m grateful for them. And grateful to all the others who have helped make our country strong. May the Lord bless each of them today, and may He protect His sons and daughters, many of whom are in harm’s way. Thank You, Jesus, for Your loving kindness in which we trust.
