A Christmas Prayer

A glowing Yuletide candle light Is burning very, very bright For all our soldiers far away Spending Christmas a soldiers way. Dreaming of home and holiday cheer, Wishing that their loved ones were near. We are at home dreaming dreams too, While thinking of and praying for you. Look for some gifts to let you know That the great sacrifices you bestow In blessing us with freedom and care Is especially returned in loving prayer. Please know that the Lord is with you, Giving you courage in all that you do. Merry Christmas to our soldiers so dear, May you share it safe at home next year! 12-22-15

some of them are living in such dire conditions, Connie. A lovely heartfelt message for the season. Yes, you need to check that contest page constantly. I do almost every day because the contests asking for Oldies can fill up in 24 hours.

Merry Christmas Connie... a timely message Connie as we head into the festive season. We do need to be reminded that there are many who cannot be home with their families for Christmas - thank you Connie - Lindsay

Christmas is a time when everyone wants to be home, especially those soldiers so far away in harms way. Thank you Paul.
