Comment by KathyMmom on May 13, 2014 at 11:17am: Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Ephesians 6:10

This is a verse that I have been leaning on quite a bit lately. As mothers, wives, women who support our sailors and our loved ones, it seems part of our job description is 'strong'. Be strong, be, encouraging, be nice, be an advocate, be comforting, be wise, be happy, be smart, be be be. While I can't think of anything else I would rather 'be', there have been moments when I sneak away and cry, alone in what I believe is my selfishness, asking 'who will be strong for me?' Jesus is my answer! He holds me up, gives me the words, the kindness, the love, the cheer, the ability to continue. He understands me and yet He still loves me. Me! Of all people! His mighty power gives me the strength. Thank you Jesus!

Comment by KathyMmom on May 12, 2014 at 1:18pm: Blondie - just wanted to let you know today how much you are appreciated. "They will know we are Christians by our love." Yes indeed - we know you! Thank you my sister in Christ for continuing lift the rest of us up.

Comment by outi on May 9, 2014 at 11:29am: He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and your protection. Ps.91:4

Comment by carols_kitchen on May 5, 2014 at 7:58pm: God has a big eraser! As we live each day, we often fail, make mistakes and sin. We're human with a will of our own and we just can't help it! Isn't it comforting to know that God is ready to not only forgive the sin, but to also erase it completely for all eternity when we approach Him with a broken and repentant heart? Take your biggest sin to God. His eraser is always guided by unconditional love and forgiveness. - Ron Lambros, President, Touching Lives

Comment by KathyMmom on April 18, 2014 at 11:45am: MaryD - so happy for you.

It's Friday, but Sunday is coming!

Comment by KathyMmom on April 3, 2014 at 12:29pm: Amen - praying for all of our military families, especially the ones impacted by yesterdays tragedy.

Comment by outi on April 2, 2014 at 8:51pm: We must pray for our military every day....God answers and watches over them ....God is their strong defence!

Comment by BlessedMom on April 2, 2014 at 8:21pm: God bless and protect all our military on our bases. Prayers for all the families affected by the devastating shooting at Fort Hood today. Prayers for healing for the at least 8 wounded, 4 very seriously.

PSALM 91:2-7 I will sayof the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fearthe terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
