God’s Embrace
Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another. —Romans 12:10
Soon after her family left for the evening, Carol started to think that her hospital room must be the loneliest place in the world. Nighttime had fallen, her fears about her illness were back, and she felt overwhelming despair as she lay there alone.
Closing her eyes, she began to talk to God: “O Lord, I know I am not really alone. You are here with me. Please calm my heart and give me peace. Let me feel Your arms around me, holding me.”
As she prayed, Carol felt her fears beginning to subside. And when she opened her eyes, she looked up to see the warm, sparkling eyes of her friend Marge, who reached out to encircle her in a big hug. Carol felt as if God Himself were holding her tightly.
God often uses fellow believers to show us His love. “We, being many, are one body in Christ. . . . Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them” (Rom. 12:5-6). We serve others “with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 4:11).
When we show love and compassion in simple, practical ways, we are a part of God’s ministry to His people.
Teach me to love, this is my prayer—
May the compassion of Thy heart I share;
Ready a cup of water to give,
May I unselfishly for others live. —Peterson

Happy Birthday, Marines everywhere!
I thought after I retired, I’d look back on what I’d done and call it good.
Instead, I see what the Marines of today are doing and I find myself filled with admiration.
The Marine Corps story is ongoing, an amazing, heroic tale filled with valor, tragedy, comedy and and an impossible cast of characters.
I’m glad I had a hand in writing a small part of it, but now I salute those who are bringing us the next chapter!

Doing very well! Trying to find a way and a time to go back
to OKC. The kids won’t be home for Thanksgiving as they planned,
because my son has so many things to do to get ready for his
deployment. *sigh*
They even had to cancel their Christmas trip to Tucson.
