A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....11-24-03....Military Monday

What a beautiful pledge graphic *and* welcome graphic (((((Aqua))))) - thank you for bringing us a most important thread.

Dear Father, we beg You to place Your bloodline of protection around our military members. Please protect them the way that they protect us with their selfless acts. The latest heinous murders that have been perpetrated upon our troops are cowardly and sinful. Please, we ask You that no more of our wonderful troops are subject to that kind of awful act.

We ask You, too, that You help us all to understand that we must show our thanks to all Military members, past and present for all that they have done to ensure our freedom.

I especially pray for those that are demonstrating at Ft. Benning, GA in the name of "peace" -calling our soldiers "baby-killers" and "mercenaries for the government." Please allow these people to see the idiocy of their actions.

We ask these favors of You as Your humble and contrite servants in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

(((((((HUGS))))))) to all.

Good morning Free! Thanks for the calendar page, I love that saying.

[Aquamarine]

God bless our armed forces and all who wait at home.

This has been a tough few months for our military over in Iraq and Afghanistan. But they say it's always darkest right before the dawn, so maybe things are on the verge of getting better over there.
I know alot of good progress is being made that the news outlets are reporting.

[Aquamarine]

I know you all will be counting the days until the first of March. We'll be praying for Jeff and your family in the meantime.

Happy to hear you got to spend some time with your beautiful grandaughter's! I can just imagine how happy a scene that was. :)

God Bless Our Military

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Mama_Bear; Dansangel; Dutchess; Aquamarine and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation's leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Good morning my Finest friends!! I hope ya'll are all well and having a good day.

Thank you to our brave soldiers, the best and brightest America has to offer. We love you.

Father, be with the families of our servicemen and women who were killed this weekend. Heal their hearts and ease their grief. Be with those who have been wounded, please speed their recoveries so they can return to their families. Give the men and women still in the field courage and strength to fight on. Lord, please watch over and care for us all and continue to bless us. Amen.

Beautiful heartfelt prayer (((Dansy)))

Thanks for noticing my welcome graphic. When I found that gif it had an avertisement in the center. I just erased it in Photo Deluxe and added my own text. It's so much fun to do things like that!

[Aquamarine]

Hi Meekie! Carlsbad Caveman, my favorite Neanderthal! :)

You make it sound so *easy* - LOL! I think Billie has "created a monster!" :-)

You *go*, ((((Aqua)))))

[Aquamarine]

Great graphic! Have you ever noticed how the democrats always called the Republican Party the rich fat cats, that have all the money? Now they have their own billionaire that says he'll pay for everything to keep the democrats in power and that's just great with the dems.

Found a great picture of Reagan if you ever need it for one of your graphics.

[Aquamarine]

Thanks, I think. :)

I haven't graduated from my Photo Deluxe class yet. :) Has she got you started in there?

I don't have Photo Deluxe, although I think Dan does on his 'puter. It's Adobe, right? He got it with a scanner I gave him eons ago.

He and I both have Paint Shop Pro which is not a very user friendly program, although the updated version 8.0 is certainly an improvement. I can make backgrounds and enhance graphics. I've done all of my "Welcome" graphics lately, some pledges and I've even made a couple of animations, but there is still so much to learn. When I have "free time" (what *is* that?) I play in it and learn more.

[Aquamarine]

That's it, Adobe Photo Deluxe. Not sure if it's available in the stores anymore.
Billie has the same thing so it makes it easier for her to teach me. Dutchess just got one that she ordered a while back over the Net, am looking forward to her future creations. :)

Well said Donaeus! And thanks so much for the beautiful prayer.

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL ! That made both mine and Carl's day ! ha! ha! ...

[dansangel]

Dutchess just got one that she ordered a while back over the Net, am looking forward to her future creations. :)

I am, too. Y'all's are doing some wonderful things! :-)
