Veterans Day
I guess I woke up in an introspective kind of mood today. My oldest DD wrote a thank you note to a veteran yesterday for one of her writing assignments. She proceeded to give it to my husband, who served in the Army what seems like a lifetime ago. It kind of took me by surprise since I forgot that he was ever in the military (it was before we were married). He never served in a war. But nonetheless, that little act served to remind me of all our soldiers fighting at this time. They are somebody's husband or wife, somebody's daddy or mommy somebody's son or daughter. I've read so many heart wrenching stories about the soldiers who died and the people they leave behind. Sometimes I want to cry out to God why, why does this have to happen? And yet at the same time can even begin to ask God to let me understand these things, it would just tear me to pieces. So I'm just reminded time and time again that we serve and awesome, faithful God. So merciful that He would not let us understand all the atrocities going on because there is no way we could survive the pain. So today I want to say thank you not only to the soldiers fighting,now or who have ever fought or serve, but also to their families who have made the ultimate sacrifice in letting their loved ones go to war, knowing that they may never come home.
