Amen and Amen, happy Monday and blessed day to you all.
Praise GOD, Praise GOD and keep thanking Him for the miracle and new opportunity to live life.
Thank you Veterans and your families for all your sacrifices and giving me the undeserving privilege to live in the best country of the free world. Thank YOU
My dad, born in 1922, fought in Italy in WWII. He downplayed it, but come to find out, he earned a purple heart and other medals. His grave marker honors his service in what was then the Army Air Force, then Army, until honorably discharged in 1946. In case you're trying to do the math, I was his "40 baby." :D God bless them all!
We owe him everything that we have learned by C&C and how he has encouraged us to believe that in due time justice have to prevail, but also the most important thing for me and my wife is the fact that we are not alone and we were Not crazy for not believing in the jab poison.
Love the personal stories about our veteran forebears.
My dad was born in 1914. 4 years later, his father Virgil shipped to France to serve in WWI with the US Army Medical Corps.
Thanks be to God, the war ended less than a month later. I have a great photograph of him in his Doughboy uniform at the French hospital where he was stationed.
My father (Clarence) was working on some heavy equipment in the Wyoming oilfields on December 8, 1941. He heard about Pearl Harbor while working, turned his equipment off, and left it right there to drive back to Oklahoma to enlist.
Like his father, he also served in the US Army Medical Corps and when the war ended, went to medical school on the GI Bill.
These men were made of steel.
Thank you to all veterans wherever, whenever, and however you served our nation.
PS: In case you missed it, yesterday was the 249th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. On that date in 1775, some OG badasses met in Philadelphia's Tun Tavern to form the deadliest military force in history.
My husband is a Vietnam Vet. His dad was a navigator on a B-17 and shot down spending a year as a POW in Germany. For the dozen years I knew him before he passed away, he never talked of the War. But our son became fascinated by the aircraft of WWII and did so much research he could name every type of aircraft flown in that war. His dad, my husband, was a gunnery chief on a Howitzer gun and served on several LZ’s in night fights. He never talked about his time either until a military reunion group was formed. We attended one reunion and he spent hours talking to men he had not seen or heard from for 30 years. It was very revealing.
Today I volunteered lunch at our church day school. A 7th grade boy was writing the date down for snacks and I asked him if he knew what today was, and he said, Veteran’s Day. I asked him he knew it was the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month that the Armistice was signed to end WWI, and he recited it right with me. I was mildly surprised that he knew this, but also knew he is a Scout. The one day they haven’t made into a Monday holiday.
My uncle, whom I had never met, was killed when his boat was torpedoed off the coast of north Africa, (he was a Merchant Marine). My brother and sister-in-law visited his grave in the US cemetary there (Oran) this past Sept. The first family members to visit and pay respect. Gone, but not forgotten. 🙏🏻
My sweet dad attempted to enlist but was denied because of a strabismus issue, he didn't have stereo vision, and he was flat footed. But immediately after Pearl Harbor he was one of a group notified to report to the Navy. He was on a boat to Hawaii in a few short weeks. He became a Navy decoder. His section successfully solved the Midway code that ended the war. He returned as a "Sailor." No metals. Nothing gained by his position... We were told about his huge accomplishment at his funeral, when a dear friend, a flight surgeon, who had befriended him late in life, told the five of us. Daddy never told anyone but that friend. He told us where to find our dad's Navy folder. In it was a letter from the Navy and contained therein was a ribbon... "Your valiant service to this country... must not be revealed or discussed.... Thank you..." My dad came home having no "right" to speak of just what he had done. In truth, the commander was given all of the credit when he had zero to do with the decoding... He had FIVE uncles who were graduates of the Naval Academy who poked fun at him when he had no answers for what exactly he had done... took ribbing from close friends and two siblings and relatives who never knew. He never told his parents. Never even told my mom.
I have his folder now, only it's contents are now beautifully framed and hang where visitors to our home can see. I'm deeply proud of my father. He kept his word far longer than was necessary because that's who he was. He kept his own counsel, even to death.
Amen and Amen, happy Monday and blessed day to you all.
Praise GOD, Praise GOD and keep thanking Him for the miracle and new opportunity to live life.
Thank you Veterans and your families for all your sacrifices and giving me the undeserving privilege to live in the best country of the free world. Thank YOU
Amen! Back in 2010, He urged me to put together a study on His attributes and character. The backbone verse He led me to was Psalm 18:2. Just in that verse, there are at least nine attributes. I learned to pay attention to every word in every verse, for each one is there for a reason. As for today's passage, righteousness, justice, and truth are the rock to which I cling in this world that is wholly unrighteous, shamefully without justice, and seeks to upend truth at every turn. So thankful for our unchanging Lord!
Those attributions also run the opposite direction: The Apostle Paul frequently cites O.T. verses, proverbs, and prophecies in his letters ... as does our Lord Jesus Himself.
Amen and Amen, happy Monday and blessed day to you all.

The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The world and its fullness, You have founded them.
The north and the south, You have created them;
Tabor and Hermon sing with joy at Your name.
You have a mighty arm;
Your hand is strong, Your right hand is exalted.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Lovingkindness and truth go before You.
— Psalm 89:11-14 LSB
“The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exalted me.
I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord.”
Psalm 117: 16, 17
I had to share this today. The Lord has brought it to my mind for the last several days. 🙏🏻
I have repeated this verse many times! I shall declare every chance I get!!!
I’m repeating this verse, myself. The Lord brought it to my attention the other day and it was emphasized in Church Sunday.
Amen and Amen, happy Monday and blessed day to you all.
Praise GOD, Praise GOD and keep thanking Him for the miracle and new opportunity to live life.

Indeed…but also a big thank you to you for keeping all of us grounded in the WORD OF GOD.
THANK YOU.
It is a blessing that Jeff is on the same page as the rest of us believers!
We owe him everything that we have learned by C&C and how he has encouraged us to believe that in due time justice have to prevail, but also the most important thing for me and my wife is the fact that we are not alone and we were Not crazy for not believing in the jab poison.
Yes, thank you for expressing this so clearly. It is the same for my husband and me.
Hear, hear!
Yes! I agree.
His being on that page is why I am here.

Standing O for this post!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That is wonderful to hear!
My father-in-law was also in the Army Air Force. Was in France. My dad and his two brothers were also WWII veterans. The Greatest Generation!

Let us not forget the brave and indispensable sailors of the Merchant Marine. Their service was key to the victory in WW2.
Without their service, we could not have won.

God bless your father for his deep and enduring sacrifice.
These men were exactly the "strong silent type" we grew up idolizing in the movies.
Thank you for telling his story.
Thank you. He was such a blessing to many. Never, ever one to brag or inflate himself. He was content in his deep faith.
It is men like your dad who made this country so great. Thanks for sharing that story especially on Veterans Day!
Thank you! He was a blessing!
That is a great testimony for your father. I salute him.
Thank you! I miss him terribly. Forever humbled by his faith and love.
Amen and Amen, happy Monday and blessed day to you all.

---Mathew 21:13.
I just love seeing varied attributes of God proclaimed together
through passages like this. He is strong with a mighty arm, He sits
on a foundation of righteousness and justice, and lovingkindness goes before Him
along with truth. Praise the Lord, I have found Him to be all these things to me💜

Isn't that wonderful, the image that the very mountains have a spirit with which to praise God.
Amen!
