I am adding this beautiful button from Edie at Rich Gifts to my blog. Thank you, Edie!
Having a son who is a Unites States Marine, preparing to serve in Afghanistan beginning in January, I am ever conscious of the sacrifice many families make for our freedom.
Today, I would like to thank each person serving in our Armed Forces for the freedom I enjoy each day. I, too am remembering all those who sacrificed their lives in order for me to enjoy freedom.
Sacrifice is never easy. My husband grew up without a father, because his father gave his life in WWII.
May GOD bless each of you who serve or have lost a love one serving our country.
Thanking GOD for each of you,
Andrea

Will be praying for your son, and for your family too as you all prepare for this time of separation.
May God's hedge of protection continue to surround you all.

Yes Thank you to all who have made our freedom continue to be a possibility here in our country! Thanks for reminding us Andrea!
I totally give an amen here and add my own thank you as well! It isn't just the men and women who serve who make the sacrifice, it's their families too.
Amen.....God Bless our troops and your son for his brave decision to serve his country.
Thanks for stopping by the 5 moms today.

I do often think about the constant anxieties that must plague every family, especially a MOM out there as they release their sons and daughters to their call of duty to serve the Country.
We could continue to lift up our children and cover them in prayer for angels to watch over them.. The Lord can do far better than we can only worry.

Amen Andrea! I am thankful for all those who have served and are serving now in our military. I commend your son and your family for what you are sacraficing.
Andrea
May you be blessed with peace as you release your son to do a duty he feels called to. My son has decided to sign up too...Canadian military and , if the war drags on, he too will head to Afghanistan. May God be with them all.
Thank you to your son. What a great gift he is giving all Americans.
Happy 4th.
Thank you to your son and many others that fight for our freedom! Happy 4th of JUly!
I will be keeping your son in my prayers. My daughter is dating a man in the marines. He will go to Afghanistan sometime next year.
I really like your button, have a great 4th.
Blessings and appreciation to your son dear sister. May the LORD's hand rest with him.
Making rounds to celebrate 4th of July with everyone.
God bless you and your family as we celebrate our freedom in Christ and in this nation.
Blessings and love.
Dearest Andrea,
My heart and mind are consumed today with what this day truly means and the freedom that we all are able to share in such a great nation. The cost paid for such freedom has been high and may God always be the center piece. focal point and guiding light, strength and courage for this entire nation. May we never, ever take it for granted.
My prayers are being said now and will continue to be said for your son as he steps out in January to protect us and for all the men and women serving our nation.
It is "One Nation Under God" and may He constantly cover each service man and woman with His Divine Intervention of protectiveness, love, grace, tender mercies, peace, self-control. May He reign in their minds, hearts and souls as they fight the battle to continue to keep America free in Jesus precious name. Amen.
I love you sweet and precious sister and friend.

Happy Independence Day, Andrea. I appreciate the sacrifice your family is making having a son in the military. I especially appreciate his sacrifice.
Thank him for me. We pray for all military and their families every night. I'm glad I have the freedom to pray.
God bless you all.

Andrea, I hope you have had a happy July 4th. Ours has been blessed with quiet, a short visit from our son and granddaughters, and hamburgers from 5 Guys.
Your post moves my heart. It is truly a time to be thankful, to count our blessings, remembering the sacrifice of others.
I will pray for your son. May the Lord be with him and keep him safe. And may the Lord keep your heart and mind in peace.
Thank you so much for your encouraging words to me. I so appreciate your comments of comfort and hope. Until one is vulnerable, she never fully understands what love and support mean.
We are still in a waiting season, as Jeff sees more drs. and has more tests. Thank you, thank you for your prayers.
Many blessings to you.
In God's Love,
Andrea
Oh my, I will keep your son in my prayers! <3

P.S. Thank you to your son for protecting us!
Great tribute Andrea. May God protection be on your family. Blessings dear one!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I'm glad to meet you, and I'll be stopping by here again!
Very well said, thank you for sharing Andrea.
I praise God for those who have fought and served for MY freedom! My grandfather served in WW2, my father was in the Vietnam War, and my hubby was USAF and is now a policeman. I praise God for these men in my life!
