"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Not wanting to live is a very dark place to be...I might not have thought my life had value after my husband died but the Lord sustained me .
It took a very long time for me to learn the lessons He needed for me to learn. I am not in control..He is.I am still learning.. My plans and dreams might not be His for me. He has taught me contentment.
I have times of pain, fear ,disappointment,sadness, anxiety but I no longer despair. I am not in charge..God is. He is still working on me...He hasn’t given up on me...nor should I. He just needs me to be willing to accept His Will ( and not sweat the small stuff..)

Good morning, Rus. Happy Friday.
Thank you for continuing to bring us ODB every morning.
It helps start the day on the right foot.

Hope you are enjoying spring weather.
Have a warm sunny weekend.

((((((((((((((((((((((((MEG))))))))))))))))))))))))))

These words encouraged me just now. I have been going through some very dark valleys with my adult children, and have had to deliberately keep my eyes focused on Jesus. You are right. Our plans and dreams often are not what God has in mind!

Bless you my dear sister in Christ!

(((polly)))The Lord has had to give me some pretty big whacks to teach me to Let Go and Let God.

I think watching bad things happen to those we love..or fearing their direction is so very difficult...May He guide and comfort you.

[MEG33]

Just beautiful..so dear.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Polly. Happy Friday.
Don't despair, take your troubles to God.
I will say a prayer for you and your family.

Have a Blessed Weekend.

Haven't seen it happen on FR but have recently noticed text moving around as the graphics open when dimensions aren't specified.

Graphics with fewest kb load fast enough so that effect doesn't occur. Plus it helps if the site the graphic is on is running fast.

SOooo cute!!

[JustAmy]

Excellent find, Jaycee.
Thank you for finding and sharing it.

Enjoy your Red Hat Lunch. See you later.

Happy TGIF.
