What would you send to our Troops this holiday season?
We're usually silly in here, but today we thought we'd ask a somewhat serious question. If you could send something to our Troops this holiday season, what would it be and why?
Holidays can be lonely for even some of us that are stateside, but imagine being in Iraq, Afghanistan, Djibouti, Gitmo, or elsewhere and far away from your family.
What would you want to have if you were so far away? Make it as silly, serious, or fun as you want it to be. Please don't make it political!
Hello
A ticket home!

Put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him. Colossians 3:10
Vincent Van Gogh bought a mirror and used his own likeness in many of his paintings. Rembrandt also used himself as a model, completing nearly 100 self-portraits. These artists had a good example, that of God Himself, who used His own likeness as the pattern for His crown jewel of creation (Gen. 1:27).
Henry Ward Beecher, the famous 19th-century clergyman, said, Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. In everything we createworks of art, music, literature, even our childrena bit of ourselves is revealed. The same is true of God; each of us reveals a bit of Him. The image may be tarnished, but its always there and is never beyond repair.
Superficial changes wont fix whats wrong with us, however. Clothes, cosmetics, and surgical procedures can make us look like everyone else, not like the unique masterpiece God designed each of us to be. We need a whole new self (Col. 3:10), one that is renewed in His image and dressed in the wardrobe of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, and longsuffering (v.12).
To improve your self image, put on the character of God and display His image in all its glory.
I'd send them First Place!
I would send them the next 10 years full of Congress' pay raises.
And of course, I'd send them lots and lots of C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E!!!
ke it as silly, serious, or fun as you want it to be. Please don't make it political!
