And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda ~ John Williamson

Today is a special day.
It is the 11-11-11. and November the 11Th is the day we remember
the Great War, W.W.1.
Please listen to the song.... its a bit rough, but so is war.
So in memory of all service men and women....
My own grandfather Samuel WW1, father Arthur WW2, and hubby Ray Vietnam War.
God Bless them all.

"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. 

Such things must happen, but the end is still to come."

Matthew 24:6

God our Refuge

This photo is of my husband Ray, pictured here in 1965.

He grew up in east Tennessee..... a keen sportsman and well liked at school.

His father passed on to Glory when he was thirteen years old, leaving him as head of the home.

His mother depended on him and he never let her down.

At eighteen Ray joined the Marine Corps and headed out to boot camp in California.

 He served and was wounded in Vietnam and still carries many of his emotional and physical scars.

He served his country and always defended what was right.

Ray's mother was very proud of him, and deserved to be.

As a mother her morals reflected in the conduct of her son. 

Ray believes in God and His promises to him. 

My prayer today is, that everyone who reads this realises how special they are to their Father in Heaven...

Don't give up, keep going, do the right thing in life, and God will reward you if you belong to Him.
