This morning I was feeling kind of sorry for myself because I was not going to be able to go to my folks for the holiday. Then I got online, checked my email. I recieved a message from a good friend that got me to thinking differently about my situation. I would like to share those thoughts with you all at this time. Please read:
*******************************************************

As we all open our presents, attend services, listen to Christmas carols, and over stuff ourselves with wonderful foods please take the time to remember those who will not be enjoying these things today. Specifically our troops who are putting their lives on the line to insure that we can celebrate our religious and holiday celebrations in safety and peace. Many of them will not get the big Christmas dinner at their base of operations. Many of them will be shivering in the cold and rain eating MREs if they are lucky. While we are opening our presents they will be trying to stay alive. Many of them question why they are over there just as many of us do, but they are doing their job. Doing what is asked of them by the people that we elected to make those decisions.

Please take the time today to remember them in our thoughts and prayers.

Merry Christmas from a proud father of a soldier.

*** He also sent a picture of his son that I am putting in my album. Please return Monday to view it also.

WE ARE ALL BLESSED..... EVERYDAY OF THE WEEK, MONTH & YEAR.....
