To Our Fallen Soldiers

God works in mysterious ways, and we are not to understand them. We just have to trust that his plan is always much bigger and greater than we are. We are not to take for granted the time we have on this earth or the blessings he bestows upon each and every one of us every single day.

To Our Fallen Soldier:

"He has a strong heart

and great amount of stubborn pride

He's a brave one

and he shows it with every stride

I know he won't let us down

as he serves our country over

in a dangerous land

For, even though he won't admit it,

he's holding God's hand

He'll fight for their freedom

while helping us hold on to ours

Even though he may come back

with some frightening scars

I love this man,

they call an American Soldier

I love him,

he is my brother."

Today we got the terrible news that a friend passed on to be with the Lord. He was running a convoy in Iraq when his team got hit with an IED. Joe, you will be greatly missed. You were a joy to know and to work with. Rest In Peace.
