Thanks for your comments, Cathy, Diana, and Barbara. We know the Lord hears the prayers of His people. Let's keep pressing on, lifting up these people in the military, their families, the heart of the President, wisdom for the military officers, and on and on.Maxinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040368808197747483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32175001.post-29636670775855093552009-10-11T19:07:07.831-04:002009-10-11T19:07:07.831-04:00We definitely need to remember all our servicemen/...We definitely need to remember all our servicemen/women in prayer. There was a time when I appreciated every prayer for my husband who was overseas twice, once in Vietnam. I thank the Lord that he got out okay, but one of our neighbor's lost her only son in that war back in the 70's.<br /><br />I agree with Brenda that the President needs to do what is right for the troops, not what others want him to do, and listen to McChrystal, the man he appointed himself.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762588867431355249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32175001.post-20726419436551732772009-10-10T02:08:30.328-04:002009-10-10T02:08:30.328-04:00war, any war, breaks my heart. so much is lost bec...war, any war, breaks my heart. so much is lost because of it. our freedom comes at an expensive price, and we can't thank those who serve enough for the sacrifice they make.<br /><br />the soldiers, their families, the president, and the administration are in my daily prayers....https://www.blogger.com/profile/02410214795470767158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32175001.post-22332935442209289852009-10-09T23:34:22.361-04:002009-10-09T23:34:22.361-04:00We do need to be praying for our troops and their ...We do need to be praying for our troops and their families, Maxine.

I can't imagine being held by people like the Taliban. Most definitely we should specifically remember him in prayer.Maxinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040368808197747483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32175001.post-85263801614888862852009-10-09T22:15:54.359-04:002009-10-09T22:15:54.359-04:00It hit home quite hard earlier this summer, as the...It hit home quite hard earlier this summer, as the soldier captured by the Taliban and held as a POW is from Hailey, Idaho, about 3 hours from where I live. Of course, my local news in Boise had lots of coverage about it, including how the community was drawing together and having a vigil for him. His name is Sgt. Bowe Bergdoll, and he needs our prayers very much. To be captured by the Taliban must be a horribly frightening ordeal. <br /><br />Great post. thanks for the continued reminder to pray for our troops. I mean, if it was my son over there, I would want millions praying for him, wouldn't you? (I know you don't have a son, but you can imagine)<br /><br />Love,<br />PattiPatti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32175001.post-17183565431769119382009-10-09T10:11:21.023-04:002009-10-09T10:11:21.023-04:00That is so hard, Susan, to see the families there ...That is so hard, Susan, to see the families there without their husband and father. Sadly, sometimes you hear of children who have both parents gone. They sure do remind us of the seriousness of all this.<br /><br />Thanks again,Sandra, for bringing this to the forefront of our hearts and minds. That is where it should be.Maxinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040368808197747483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32175001.post-33897998508271133062009-10-09T08:12:43.607-04:002009-10-09T08:12:43.607-04:00Thank you so much Maxine for participating.

My heart aches for what is happening and I think that because it has gone on for so long, people have gotten used to it and it doesn't seem to bother them as much anymore.<br /><br />SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01031704589737874541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32175001.post-13936602134874086132009-10-09T06:42:43.278-04:002009-10-09T06:42:43.278-04:00What a wonderful post link for our troops.

It's the families, the one's at home ALONE that need that special prayer, too.

Carson in Colorado Springs who died this week.<br />Living in a military city has made it so much more 'real' for us. I may have mentioned this but one of our neighbors just came back and another is in Afghanistan for a year.<br />I just wish that our President would lay down his reputation and do what is the best and right and most important.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289590616497815887noreply@blogger.com
