Happy Independence Day, America

Have a Happy and Safe
July 4th,
and as you enjoy your day,
Please say a prayer and a
Thank You to all the
many young men who are
away from home at this time
trying to keep our country safe.
*
Yesterday,
for a little while, I got to spend some time
with a young man, who I've known since his birth
He has served 11 years in our military.
He's spent at least 3 different tours of duty
in Afghanistan and Iraq and leaves again
in November for another tour.
His lovely wife is expecting twins
about the time he deploys.
So pray for them both, as
he serves our country,
and also for those that
serve by staying behind and
holding down the home front
while their loved ones
are away.

Happy, Blessed 4th of July to you too, Jettie! I will keep that family in my prayers...and, hopefully, the twins will be born before Dad gets deployed! God bless you-you are a wonderful part of my life~ xo Diana
