Prayer Request from Military Mom

This email came from Pleasanton Military Families…Mom had met our Pat Frizzel at the farmers market and then followed up with the info about her sons…I with held full names


My middle son, S deployed today.  The 27th Aero Squadron will be based in Dubai, and flying F-22's into Syria for three months.  Simultaneously, he and his fiancĂ©, "C", are planning their Wedding for November..   "C" is an Air Force Flight Nurse and is already one month into her three month deployment in Germany.
"S's" older brother is training to bea ParaJumper/ParaRescue.   And, my youngest son is in the Army training in Armor- tanks.  He will be transferring from Fort Benning, GA to Ft Hood, Tx this month.
Please keep them all in your prayers along with all of our military?
Our country is so blessed to have such fine young people…"

We do pray. For this mother's three sons in harm's way. Lord, keep these young men safe and sound. Surround them with support and strengthen them from within. Let them know they are loved and honored by those of us at home for whom they risk their lives. Thank you for telling each son, "I know you and I love you."

Independence Day 2017


"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
 
The Declaration of Independence
July 4, 1776


"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery"
Galatians 5:1




"For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love.
Galatians 5:13


"Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, 
may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and 
preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"
Francis Scott Key 1814


We owe so much to the brave men and women who have served brothers and sisters in love..so that we may enjoy freedom and continue the call to serve. 
Happy Independence Day America!
