Prayer Wall

John & Yvonne thank you so much for your service & also for opening your home & hearted to our military. My son was stationed at Oceans for 2 years & wish he could/would have taken advantage of your hospitality when he was stationed there. Unfortunately he is now stationed even farther from our home in Michigan at Diego Garcia, on the other side of the world. He is not going to be with family this year & is having a rough time being away from his new baby girl. God bless you!

carols_kitchen,

Yes, were the same ones. We've been having servicemen and women in our home on the weekends for a little more than 10 years. About 250 sailors, soldiers, and marines have been through our house in that time.

Nice Blondie! Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!!

Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom,

I'm sorry to hear your son wil be so far away from you. I pray he and you will have a good Thanksgiving anyway. Blessings on you and your family.

Lord God, please be with our sailors on the GW who are being sent to make a presence known to the N. Koreans. Please watch over them and keep them safe from all harm. God we just ask that You will keep things from escalating any further. Be with the families of these sailors and all the military currently stationed in Korea. Give them Your peace and comfort. We know You are in control of all things and we choose to trust You. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Love these Blondie! Where are you getting them?

Blessed Thanksgiving to one and all. Well this is our last Thanksgiving with or daughter before she leaves for BC. and it will also be our last Christmas she leaves in March. Our house is going to be very empty. Our oldest daughter, her husband our grandson have been with us a yr. and 1/2 home from MI after he finished seminary. So they are waiting on a call to Corvallis, OR. to do a church plant there or possibly Olympia, WA. This is all very sad but very exciting for our whole family. Heavenly Father I thank you for my family and friends, be with all of service men and women this day give them and their families extra comfort as they are away from one another. We give You our love and praise.

Blassings as SJB joins us.

Isn't it amazing how people say how thankful they are for what they have. But can't wait to be the first in line for that big new TV because the one they have isn't good enough? Yet they say they just said they are so thankful for what they have :-\ doesn't make much sense to me. I don't get how one can be so thankful but so greedy at the same time. Rather sad don't you think. Don't get me wrong I'm all for a good sale but the greed that comes with black Friday is awful. Never have shopped this day nor will I ever. With that said. Heavenly Father I ask that you give safe travel to all who will heading back home and to their stations these next few days.

Nanette, I couldn't agree more. I have shopped Black Friday, but not for stuff for me. Only for good deals for my.family & I was never mean or vicious like some of those others are. Praise God for my family & friends. My son & I have been chatting this morning & that is one of the best thanks for me. He is overseas...

Thank you God for bringing our sub sailor back to his home port safely. Soon he will be dry docked and in one place for TWO years. We are excited!

Amen to your answer to prayer, Carol.

Please keep the 7th fleet in your prayers as they do these "exercises" in Korea.

Welcome to Rose7..ship3..div031 .
Prayers continue for those in the Korean exercises. Heard yesterday from one of our sailors who may be heading that way. They are all concerned.
May God Bless our troopers.

Dear Father, thank you for you love, protection & answered prayers. Thank you for this beautiful day & whatever it holds. Please answer Blondie's prayer for a trip to Japan with a resounding YES. I know what she means & is going through. I pray You will give her this & its not just for her. It's also for her sailor. Continue to guide & protect all of our military & especially those in the war zones & S. Korea. Continue to be with Allen in Diego Garcia. Give him strength & comfort & protection. In Your loving precious name Jesus, Amen.

Thank you God for another day. For taking care of my family. God help my son J to finish boot camp, give him strength. Also help all those guys in boot camp, their families. In your name Jesus, Amen!

Welcome SailorTator'sMom.

Praying for word from Calen For Tate' Mom

Thank you Lord for this beautiful day you have given us to shine your light so others might see. Thank you for the laughter we can share (I'm just laughing out loud at Blondie asking to skip the snow!), and thank you for our snow because I love it - perhaps a white Christmas might be in order (the deep stuff)? But most of all, I ask that you give families missing their loved ones comfort and knowledge that our loved ones are safe in your care. Nudge Caleb to call his mom - while we encourage our children to grow independent, we still want to hear their voices. Remind him of the love that she has given him in order for him to reach this stage in his life and that someday, it might be him hoping to hear from his deployed son or daughter. In these troubling times, in this holiday season, I pray that families the world over will be hearing soon from their loved ones. Thank you!

Though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds
him with his hand. Psalm 37:24

Amen

Amen!

thanks

Dear Lord, You know that I just had a brief conversation with Allen and can tell that he is still having struggles and is becoming more depressed with the situation of his marriage. He also is struggling being away from his baby girl. Lord, I ask that You give him comfort and strength to continue serving where he is and also pray for a miracle in his marriage. Thank you Father God so much for loving each of us and being with us when we need You. Watch over all of our military all over the world and their families. Thank you. In Jesus name, Amen.

Amen!

Dear Lord, thank you for the friendships and prayer partners on this site. Asking that we may keep healthy in body, mind and spirit as we go through the holidays. Give us patience to deal with sometimes seemingly impossible situations. And give us clarity of mind to sift through the difficult situations and to see your praise-worthy times.
Amen

Amen.

Praying for all here & all our military. Praying for myself today & tomorrow also. I have to drive to Ann Arbor & my truck is very old & not sure it will make it. Praying for God to guide, protect & see me through there & home. Also praying for my daughter today having to drive to Kalamazoo to pick up her daughter & the weather is suppose to be bad on the west coast of Michigan today. Surround & protect Andrea & Marissa to be safe & make it home safe. Thank you God. Amen

Praising God! Asked for member names of our church military families. This morning I handed out almost 200 Christmas cards (pre-addressed the envelopes so it would be evenly distributed.) And our Wed. night ladies Bible Study filled up 4 boxes of goodies to send to troopers from our congregation. They even paid for the shipping! God is good.

Glad your church is doing this
my church does not seem to support the troops.
they are all pretty much privitate christian school grads.

praying for the Marines in Afgainitan
10 us Marines lost their lives in 4 days.
not good

Jean-- I started a program a year ago called "Treasure our Troops" after working with the Molly's Adopt a Sailor group on this site. I asked to be included in our newsletters and bulletins. What I opened it up to was any active or reserves military. We sent boxes to the active ones serving overseas and cards to all including reserves on home. We included spouses, too.
Then, for two weeks, I made mailing labels and took all the donated Christmas cards people saved for me. I stuck the labels on the cards, and handed out cards to anyone willing to include a letter, picture or note in the card. Today I handed out 200 cards for only 9 service people. So, they will get lots of fun mail soon. The boxes go out tomorrow,and one of my Bible Study groups donated to that.

I just want to say how grateful I am for Navy mom's like you Carol. I am not able to send a care package for Christmas to my son, Allen who is stationed overseas until May 2011. I don't have the money to buy the stuff to even make cookies or things for a care package. It is very discouraging for me that I can't do Christmas for any of my family this year, but pray that he will receive a package from another navy mom who understands & can afford it. Even though I'm sure Allen isn't on your mailing list, it makes me so glad for the other troops who will receive your cards & packages. God bless you, Carol & your church. Thank you for your service to our troops.

Cheryl, My heart aches for you. I just shipped a package to our son before he deploys again (VERy soon.) But, I can't ship to him when he is underway--somehow helicopters or planes just don't land on submarines. Private maessage me so I can send Allen a card. Then, if he is still deployed for our church's next shipping in Feb or March, I'll add him to our list.

I thank God everyday for this website & all of you beautiful women here who are so caring & generous. Thank you to you all for offering to send care packages to my Allen. I will PM you all, once you accept me as a friend on your private profiles.

Blondie, I don't know exactly what is going on with Allen & Jessica. I haven't spoken to her lately. Allen has been very down & seems hurting greatly over the situation between them though. Also, he has been working so many hours he is physically exhausted. Twenty-two & one-half hours of straight work the other day/night. I realize he is expected to do his job, & he is a very hard worker, but it probably isn't helping his attitude & mood. Thank you for asking and praying. It looks like it is in God's hands for a miracle. I am praying, but am sure Jessica isn't interested in being a military wife anymore.

Thank you again all of you wonderful ladies!!!

Praying for Fr. Bob Dendinger.

Cheryl, Allen's Mom....my name is Bugsmom, they call me Bugsy. I have trouble getting online, only have internet at work and they have tons of filters to try to keep me off. My heart goes out to you and your son. It sounds like he is having some heavy duty problems with his marriage, I'm so sorry. Deployment is hard enough on our children, especially hard when they don't have the support of their spouse. My son "Bug", just returned from 7 months in Afghanistan, thank God! Where is your son stationed? What is his job? Mine is a Corpsman and was over there with his Marines. I will be praying for Allen and Fr, Bob Dendinger. God bless.....I am going to attempt to send one of you my email at work, if I go silent again, I will email you.

BugsMom...thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers for Allen. Yes, it has been very difficult for him. He is stationed on Diego Garcia as a Doghandler K-9 MA. So happy that your son, Bug is home safe from Afghanistan.

Amen!

You all make my heart warm with your caring for each other. We are truly sisters through God.

Carol--I truly believe God brought us all here for a reason. I love all the care, love & support here. God bless you all & our military.

Praying for all our military & their familes. Thank you God for all here & our military. Keep them all healthy, safe & bring them all home to their familes. Amen.

Absolutely! And not a weird request. When do you leave?

Lord - Thank you for all You do for us and the abilities You have given us to create technology that improves our lives so that we can serve You more effectively. I know that Blondie is so looking forward to her trip - if at all possible, please make sure her new glasses arrive soon so that she can enjoy her trip with good vision and headache free. Amen. And Amen to Cheryl's prayer - keep them safe and bring them home.

Blondie that isn't a weird request at all. I will happily pray for you about it. So happy that you are able to be going on this trip.

Thank you, KathyMmom! You are such a godly and loving woman.
