if you know someone in the military, please take some time to send them a letter and/or a care package along with thanking them for defending our freedom, protecting the rights of those they do not even know, and risking their lives for us all. say some extra prayers for their safety each day and for the comfort that only the Lord can provide to those that miss them.
my friend is serving in iraq right now and she said that she gets a lot of packages from home but that not all of the soldiers and sailors are so blessed.
today i thank God for the freedom that we have to worship as we believe and for everyone who has served, and a special prayer for the families of those who have laid down their lives for what they believe. God please wrap Your loving arms around them and let them feel Your comfort and peace.
you may not know God or have a relationship with His Son Jesus, you may not even believe in God. we all have a choice to make in this life about what we believe about eternity. in the Bible, we are encouraged to seek the truth - Jeremiah 29:13 says "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." in John 14:6 Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." pretty straightforward.
you can look up any passage of scripture at http://www.biblegateway.com/passage in most of the different English translations and you can even read the Bible in different languages.
