Military Wives Prayer!

DEAR LORD:

 Give me the greatness of heart to see the difference between duty and his love for me. Give me understanding that I may know, when duty calls him he must go. Give me a task to do each day, to fill the time when he's away.

AND LORD, WHEN HE'S IN A FOREIGN LAND, KEEP HIM SAFE IN YOUR LOVING HAND. AND LORD WHEN HIS DUTY IS IN THE FIELD, PLEASE PROTECT HIM AND BE HIS SHIELD. And Lord, when deployment is so long, please stay with me and keep me strong. Amen.

Your Boy in Green! ~My Mom's Letter to Me~

My mama started this when he left for Iraq and made additions for round two...Touches my heart. Thanks mama love you!
I KNOW WHAT''S IN A MOTHER'S HEART.... YOU AND THE ONE YOU LOVE

SHE IS OUR BABY...OUR JELLY BEAN,
SHE FELL IN LOVE, WITH A BOY IN GREEN.
WE WERE SCARED AND CONCERNED AFTER SHE TOLD US THE STORY,
OF HOW SHE HAD MET THE LOVE OF HER LIFE, NAMED COREY.
SHE SAID, "HE'S GOING TO IRAQ TO DEFEND OUR RIGHTS", BUT COURTNEY,
I SAID...ALL OF THOSE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS?

I BELIEVE IN OUR COUNTRY, WE NEED TO BE FREE, BUT LOVING A
BOY WHO WEARS ARMY GREEN?
SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN, YOUR
HEART COULD BE BROKEN,
BUT I LOVE HIM, SHE SAID, TRUER WORDS
NEVER SPOKEN...

IN GOD'S TIME, SHE TOLD ME, MY MAN WILL COME HOME,
GOD TOLD ME TO TRUST HIM, I'M NEVER ALONE...
I'M WITH HIM, AND YOU, JUST TRUST IN YOUR LORD,
I'LL LEAD YOU THROUGH life until your final reward...

And so they were MARRIED, he came home from Iraq, I've
prayed every day that he'll never go back.
But the orders are in, for a place we all know,
he'll be leaving today, where the blood often flows..
They call it Afghanistan, where Bin Laden DWELLS,
he sent friends to die, in their own personal Hell...

September 11  is an infamous date, where we know
we must defend our U-nited States…

I'm proud of my Corey, My Courtney and others,
The Navy, The Air Force, the Army and brothers,
They'll fight to protect our U-nited States,
and at home we'll support them and pray as we wait....

God bless them and keep them in all of our dreams,
Until he returns, he's her baby in green...

And she loves him, she told us, I saw in her face…
She's proud and she's living in His Green Army space...

she'll never FORGET what HIS army green
means, BECAUSE MY BABY GIRL IS STILL living HER dream... She'll wait and she'll
wonder, she'll live and she'll pray.  But together her Green family
Wives, they'll figure out a way…

Not only are we proud of Sgt. Corey, we are proud of those of you who keep the home fires burning until their return.
Thank you Family members...
Mom

~God's Creation of The Military Wife~

***The Military Wife***

The good Lord was creating a model for military wives and was into his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared. She said, "Lord, you seem to be having a lot of trouble with this one. What's wrong with the standard model?"...The lord replied, "Have you seen the specs on this order? She has to be completely independent, possess the qualities of both father and mother, be a perfect hostess to four or 40 with an hour's notice, run on black coffee, handle every emergency imaginable without a manual, be able to carry on cheerfully even if she is pregnant and has the flu, and be willing to move to a new location 10 times in 17 years. And, oh, yes, she must have six pairs of hands."

The angel shook her head. "Six pairs of hands." The Lord continued, "Don't worry, we will make other military wives to help her. And we will give her an unusually strong heart so it can swell with pride in her husband's achievements, sustain the pain of separations, beat soundly when it is overworked and tired, and be large enough to say 'I understand' when she doesn't and say 'I love you' regardless."

"Lord," said the angel, touching his arm gently, "go to bed and get some rest. You can finish this tomorrow."

"I can't stop now," said the Lord. "I am so close to creating something unique. Already this model heals herself when she is sick, can put up six unexpected guests for the weekend, wave goodbye to her husband from a pier, a runway, or a depot, and understand why it's important that he leave."

The angel circled the model of the military wife, looked at it closely and sighed. "It looks fine, but it's too soft."

"She might look soft," replied the Lord, "but she has the strength of a lion. You would not believe what she can endure."

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the Lord's creation. "There's a leak," she announced. "Something is wrong with the construction, I am not surprised that it has cracked. You are trying to put too much on this model."

The Lord appeared offended at the angel's lack of confidence, "What you see is not a leak." he said, "It's a tear."

"A tear? What is it there for?" asked the angel. The Lord replied, "It's for joy, sadness, pain, disappointment, loneliness, pride and a dedication to all the values that she and her husband hold dear."

"You are a genius!" exclaimed the angel. The Lord looked puzzled and replied, "I didn't put it there."
