Battle Stations are in our prayers. Here's to our recruits and the call they make saying "I'm a SAILOR now!"

Dearest Lord
Please watch over Brenda S's sailor. Guide the medical care team to bring him back to full strength.
We know that where one or two are gathered, so are you. We care and send our prayers up on angels wings.
Amen

Heard the neatest thing at church this morning. God does not have any grandchildren, only children. What a great honor god has placed upon us in this role!

Thought it was time to copy down The Spirit Song
O let the Son of God enfold You
With His Spirit and His love
Let Him fill your heart and satisfy your soul
O let Him have those things that hold You
And His Spirit like a dove
Will descend upon your life
And make you whole
(chorus)
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill Your Lambs
Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill Your Lambs
O come and sing this song with gladness
As your hearts are filled with joy
Lift your hands in sweet surrender
To His name
O give Him all your tears and sadness
Give Him all your years of pain
And you'll enter into life
In Jesus' name

We have been there with the issues at Battles Station. Please know that we lift up Garrett and his shipmates and pray for that happy call when he can officially say "I am a U.S. Navy Sailor!"
Dear God
Please watch over all our military, their families and their needs. Please assure those who are waiting to have patience and understanding.
Amen

I love all of you!

Dear Lord
Just a small personal prayer in the scheme of the lives of our sailors and their families. Please help me get over this sinus infection and bronchitis. Keep me safe from the pneumonia bug this year.
Please pray for the health of all those who touch this page.
Amen

Choosing Friends
Suggested Bible Reading
If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
-1 Corinthians 13 (NRSV)
Today's Scripture
Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character." -1 Corinthians 15:33 (NIV)
AS parents, my husband and I stress to our children the importance of choosing godly friends who are willing to share in their joys as well as in their struggles. We want them to have steadfast friends -- people they know they can count on, no matter what happens.
It is important for all of us to choose friends who uplift and encourage us. However, we also need friends who will tell us when we stray from God's ways and lovingly guide us back to the right path.
I have been blessed with such a friend. When I need someone to pray with me or just listen to my joys and sorrows, she is the one I call. I often turn to her for wise and godly guidance. I can count on her to encourage me, but I also know that she will gently nudge me back on course if necessary. The friends we want for ourselves and our children demonstrate these qualities of love as well as those mentioned in 1 Corinthians 13.
We have no friend greater than Christ. However, God also places godly people in our path to befriend us. We can be thankful for them and their influence on our lives. In turn, it is also our privilege as followers of Christ to be that same kind of friend to others.
Marcia Hodge (Florida, USA)
Prayer
Father, thank you for sending us godly friends. Help us to be such friends to others. Thank you for Jesus, our truest friend. Amen.
Thought for the Day God brings people into our lives to bring us closer to Christ.
Prayer Focus Those seeking friendship "
