WELCOME...
I am so glad that you have come to visit our site! I pray you
enjoy it, use it, and will make return visits! If you are anything like me ~ there are times that I find it difficult to remember
to pick up my little devotional book, but I sure do find time to click away on the computer. I've found that I am
more likely to read my daily devotionals if it's on the screen in front of me.
This page has just that for
YOU & ME!!!
May God Bless You Today and Everyday!

Even
though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. —2 Corinthians 4:16 Some people are obsessed with physical fitness—daily workouts, vitamins, organic food—in
spite of the fact that our bodies keep ticking away in inevitable decline. In our twenties and thirties we think we’re
invincible, but in the decades that follow, the eyesight starts to go, then the knees, then the mind. Let’s face it,
trying to ensure long-lasting physical health is like trying to stem the tide with a pitchfork! And while it is true
that the older we get the worse we get physically, it doesn’t have to be that way spiritually. Believe it or not, it
is possible to get better with age. It’s what the apostle Paul meant when he said, “Even though our outward man
is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day” (2 Cor. 4:16). Many of us fear aging with all the
trouble it brings. But when we are gradually stripped of everything that props us up—whether wealth, independence, health,
dignity, beauty, or all of the above—we are left with more and more of God. So no matter how old you are, it’s
not too late to dig deep in God’s Word and invest more and more time in your spiritual well-being. You’ll see
the payoffs, now and later. The older you get, the better you can become! — Joe Stowell Although our outward shell decays,
We still can be renewed each day;

Give strength that will not fade away. —Sper

My Soldier's Mom My Mother's Soldier
My child, you glow in uniform I think of her in treasured ways
In pride I live, my heart so warm Of all those years through watchful days
I have such precious thoughts
cascade She nurtured me to grow up
proud
Some old, some new, not one will fade Now that's a fact I'll shout out loud
How hard that day we said
good-bye Her
awesome love wells deep inside
The joy, the pain, etched in my eye Her magic gift will never hide
You left to serve our country well I know she thinks of me a lot
My perfect one, my tears did swell She always will, her lesson taught
No better soldier could there be I thank you God for all she is
For in my love, that's all I see My friend, my guide, my total wiz
Oh how I pray for you each day What does my mother mean to me?
Be safe, be well, God guide your way Look in my eyes, she's there to see
I keep your home in wait with
me My Mother's Soldier, yes I am
Your Mom will guard it faithfully While I stand watch for Uncle Sam
How great the day when you'll
return Don't
ever doubt who is the best
We'll talk and talk, night-lights to burn Her care exceeds the toughest test
My Soldier's Mom, is who I am
While you do proud, for Uncle Sam

A Mother's Prayer For Her Marine
God, Father of Freedom, look after that boy of mine, wherever he may be. Walk in upon him. Keep his mind stayed
on Thee. Talk with him during the silent watches of the night, and spur him to bravery whenever called upon to face the cruel
foe. Transfer my prayer to his heart, that he may know the lingering love I have bequeathed to him as an everlasting gift.
Keep my boy contented and
inspired by the never-dying faith in his mother's God. He is my gift to freedom. May that freedom forever remain untarnished,
God. Through the lonely and confusing hours of training and combat, and throughout all the long days of a hopeful victory,
keep his spirit high and his purpose unwavering. Make him a proud pal to all with whom he comes in contact and make his influence
a noonday light wherever his duty takes him. Satisfy the hunger of his soul with the knowledge of this daily prayer of mine.
To my country, and to world
freedom, O Heavenly Father, have I bequeathed this boy of mine. He is my choicest treasure. Take care of him, God. Keep him
in health and sustain him under every possible circumstance of events. Warm him anew under his shelter and under the stars.
Touch him with my smile of cheer and comfort and my full confidence in his every brave pursuit. Silent and alone, I pray, God, but I am only one of millions
of mothers, whose prayers stream day and night to You. This is our Gethsemane. Lead us victoriously through it, God. And lead
that boy of mine through his. Fail him not...and may he not fail You, his country, nor his mother. Thank you, God.
