Praying for our military...

By


"Wrestling prayer can wonders do,
Bring relief in deepest straits;
Prayer can force a passage through
Iron bars and brazen gates."

I am thankful for all my family that has served in the military. In fact, out of all the kids in my family, I was the only one who didn't serve. I am thankful for their contribution to our country.

I pray for our military and I hope you do, too. They have a lot of sacrifices they make for us all. My son told me yesterday that he wanted to join the military when he turns 18. He is 14. He gave me lots of good reasons why he wanted to join. We will see what God has in store for him. :)

I encourage you to keep our military and their families in your prayers.

    Dear Stephanie,
    I just found your blog after you wrote on my wall :) I see we must be similarly old-fashioned and love the Lord and our husbands! That alone makes us like-minded! LOL I would like to 'copy' the "wrestling prayer can do wonders" quote. Did you write it? It is powerful and lovely. I will "Like" your page (and I look forward to visiting with you here and at DeepRoots again) Have a blessed evening!

    You can certainly copy the prayer. :) It came from a devotional I dearly love called Streams in the Desert. No author to the quote.
    Blessings to you!

John Bull, Cleaning Housewives Dusting Polishing Products Magazine, UK, 1953 I've been working on cleaning the inside of the house really good for winter. I like to deep clean around this time of year and maintain in throughout the fall. Sometime during the winter, I will deep clean again. The woodstove puts out a lot of dust. :) I like to clean the windows, too. Living in the country, I like to see what the Lord created. LOL. Not raindrop marks, etc. Housewife Cleaning Glass Window Slats The next task is going to be cleaning the office. Ugh. I'm terrible at organizing! Ah!
