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.
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
Happy Father's Day!
Honoring my Dad tonight.
Second generation immigrant from Finland, he was born and grew-up in Minnesota, he and his family survived the Great Depression.
He enlisted in the Army after Pearl Harbor and after training was stationed in the Pacific War theater.
He was an Infantry soldier, NCO and ultimately received a battlefield commission as a 2nd Lieutenant.
He was wounded twice in battle and received 2 Purple Hearts and other medals before the end of the war.
After the war and newly married to my Mom, he moved out to Seattle and was a mechanic and Engineer for the Boeing company for 30 years before retiring.
Not only was he my and my sister's Dad but he became our only parent as our mother was killed in a train-car accident when we were both very young.
He raised both of us all by himself and did a darn good job!
Here's to you, Dad, you were the best there ever was, Happy Father's Day!
My Dad, 5/28/14 to 10/8/88, I still miss you dearly, Dad!
Bible in a Year:
[God is] a father to the fatherless.
Guy Bryant, single and with no children of his own, worked in New York City’s child welfare department. Daily, he encountered the intense need for foster parents and decided to do something about it. For more than a decade, Bryant fostered more than fifty children, once caring for nine at the same time. “Every time I turned around there was a kid who needed a place to stay,” Bryant explained. “If you have the space in your home and heart, you just do it. You don’t really think about it.” The foster children who’ve grown and established their own lives still have keys to Bryant’s apartment and often return on Sundays for lunch with “Pops.” Bryant has shown the love of a father to many.
The Scriptures tell us that God pursues all who are forgotten or cast aside. Although some believers will find themselves destitute and vulnerable in this life, He promises to be with them. God is “a father to the fatherless” (Psalm 68:5). If, through neglect or tragedy, we’re alone, God is still there—reaching out to us, drawing us near, and giving us hope. Indeed, “God sets the lonely in families” (v. 6). In Jesus, other believers comprise our spiritual family.
Whatever our challenging family stories, our isolation, our abandonment, or our relational dysfunction may be, we can know that we’re loved. With God, we’re fatherless no more.
Reflect & Pray
What does it mean for you to have a heavenly Father who loves you and will never leave you? How does He meet your deepest needs?
Father God, I need a good father, a true father, one who will not leave me. I’m grateful You’re this Father for me.
Howdy, Kathy.
I see rain on the Lake Hood cam!!! I pray it’s raining at your house too!
5 feet between drops, but the street is finally covered. We need the drops a whole lot closer together. 😂
It probably started sprinkling because I was watering the lawns.
My father, David, was a veteran of WWII (China/Burma/India) CBI and the Korean War. My late husband was a retired USAF F100 pilot in Vietnam.
I found these two videos earlier and highly recommend them. I love military history especially America’s Greatest Generation.
