FReeper Canteen ~ Sunday Chapel ~ A FRIEND IS..... ~ 29 December 2013
Serving The Best Troops and Veterans In The World !! | The Canteen Crew

A FRIEND IS....


The person who gives you the better of two choices

Holds your hand when you’re scared

Helps you fight those who try to take advantage of you

Thinks of you at times when you are not there

Reminds you of what you have forgotten

Helps you put the past behind you, but understands when you need to hold on a little longer

Stays with you so that you have confidence

Goes out of their way to make time for you

Helps you clear up your mistakes

Helps you deal with pressure from others

Smiles for you when you are sad

Helps you become a better person

.....but most importantly.....

A friend embraces you with love when you least deserve it

Letter To A Child

December 29, 2013

Even at the end of his life, C. S. Lewis showed an interest in the spiritual nurture of younger believers. Although in ill health, he took time to respond to the letter of a child named Philip. Complimenting the boy’s fine written expression, Lewis said he was delighted that Philip understood that in the Narnia Chronicles the lion Aslan represented Jesus Christ. The next day, Lewis died at his home in the Kilns, Oxford, England, one week before his 65th birthday.

The apostle John, in his later years, sent a letter to his spiritual children. In it we see the joy of a mature believer encouraging his spiritually younger disciples to keep walking in the truth and following Christ.

John wrote, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth” (3 John 1:4). Short by New Testament standards, John’s letter demonstrates the joy that comes in nurturing and watching the next generation’s spiritual growth.

Encouraging spiritual understanding in the next generation should be the pursuit of mature believers. Sending a note of appreciation, giving a word of encouragement, praying, or offering sound advice can all be ways of helping others on their spiritual journey with God.

To help another in Christ to grow
You have to pay a price
It takes the giving of yourself
And that means sacrifice. —D. DeHaan
The journey is better with someone who knows the way.

What would have happened if there had been three wise women? -

They would have asked for directions.
Arrived on time.
Helped deliver the baby.
Cleaned the stable.
Made a casserole, and
Given practical gifts for the home.

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
