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

Posted on 12/28/2013 4:59:37 PM PST by Kathy in Alaska


 


 

 

 

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

A good Lord’s Day to you, Kathy and a hug for your mother.

Well, the grass is green with white snow-ice frosting, and some snow possibly coming this week.

In the teens-20’s at night, 20s-30s during the days and the sun is shining on some days when the “freezing fog” is not doing its thing. Overall, ok for winter.

Looks like you and I are having a good break in our winter weather, indeed.

37 here...down from 42 about 30 minutes ago. Strong northwest
wind. I guess it’ll be heading your way later today. Bundle up.

I think that 42 will be our high for the day. Well, it IS winter after all. :)

Have a blessed Sunday!

It’s still right at 50 here with a light drizzle.

Heading for church in a bit, so have to watch the roads.

I was close to having a bronchial infection last week.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!




Amazing Grace
(Click)

By John Newton


Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

DEAR LORD, who suffered torment, agony, and death upon the Cross to free our souls from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend our troops. Guide them in the performance of their duties. Strengthen them to endure hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service. Let their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghanistan from the chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all to a greater share in Your Mercy. Amen.
