A Mother's Love - December 31, 2006

Have a safe New Year's Eve and let's have a great New Year together! Mindful of and vigilant for freedom and liberty! Today, I was in a church service, the Ordination of two new Deacons - one woman and one man. The lady had visitors there. Two of the visitors were a mother and a father of two sons. The father was a retired Colonel so the military is in their blood. One son had served in Iraq as a medic and he had lost his life helping his fellow soldiers. The other son is serving in the Navy assigned in the Gulf region. I spoke with the mother who had lost her son. She is a beautiful woman with grace and elegance. She thanked me for my comments of gratitude and she said for me not to feel sad because her son - the young medic - had died doing what he believed in. Would that we could all have such grace... God bless this mother's sons and her family and God bless all of our men and women risking life and limb for our nation, for us.
