Remembering Our Veterans Phil 1:3,4


“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,  4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joyPhillipians 1:3,4

This last Sunday we thanked God for the people that have served our great country. It was such an emotional time for me. Part of the reason why it is an emotional time for me is because of my dad. He served in the U.S.M.C during the Vietnam War. I have always admired him for what he did for me and for this great country. I have talked with him enough to know that what he did required a sacrifice and what he did in serving forever changed him. And so I am just so thankful for what he did and what many other men and woman have done for me and this country. This week I encourage you to let those who have served this great country know that you appreciate everything they did and remember to pray for them. On Sunday we talked about these three specific areas we can pray for them.

1. Pray that our president understands what he has in the US Military and he does everything in his power to protect and honor them.

2. We need to pray that our country supports the men and woman when they come back home from serving our great country

3. We need to pray for all the families of the men and woman serving us . The parents, spouses, children, etc.

Again I thank my God always in remembrance of those who have served our great nation, remembering them in my prayers.
