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

Thanks Kathy. SIL had to work today and flew back Christmas day.

SIL is batching for two days in KA, and I am here for almost a week.

Wife is riding back with daughter and will fly back on Jan 2nd.

Good evening, Cindy, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Thank you for the links.

How is your weather behaving? We have finally gotten above zero and look to stay in the 20s during the days and teens at night...a nice change.

THE FIRST SUNDAY IN CHRISTMASTIDE



"The Flight Into Egypt"
Tintoretto (Jacopo Comin)
(1518-1594)

"Coventry Carol"
Crimson Ensemble
(Click)


"AND WHEN they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.

And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:

And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth."

Matthew 2:13-23 (KJV)






Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Thank you very much, Kathy - we have been on the phone several times with Daniel today and this evening - he wants dearly to come home.

We hope to have him home in a few days, God willing. Your prayers are much needed and appreciated!

Hopefully they are keeping him just to get his meds squared away and then he can come home.

Will you be able to visit him? Does he allow hugs?

Prayers of peace for Daniel, and his family. *HUGS*

We will be able to visit him in a couple of days. He sometimes allows hugs - but not often.
