The following passage is from a sermon by John Hagee:
I want you to close your eyes and picture in your mind the soldier
at Valley Forge, as he holds his musket in his bloody hands.
He stands barefoot in the snow, starved from lack of food, wounded
from months of battle and emotionally scarred from the eternity away from
his family surrounded by nothing but death and carnage of war.
He stands though, with fire in his eyes and victory on his breath.
He looks at us now in anger and disgust and tells us this...
I gave you a birthright of freedom born in the Constitution and
now your children graduate too illiterate to read it.
I fought in the snow barefoot to give you the freedom to vote and
you stay at home because it rains.
I left my family destitute to give you the freedom of speech and
you remain silent on critical issues, because it might be bad for
business.
I orphaned my children to give you a government to serve you and it has
stolen democracy from the people.
It's the soldier, not the reporter who gives you the freedom of the press.
It's the soldier, not the poet who gives you the freedom of speech.
It's the soldier, not the campus organizer who allows you to demonstrate.
It's the soldier, who salutes the flag, serves the flag, whose coffin
is draped with the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag!!!
"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they
protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they
perform
for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord
and Savior.
Amen."
When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our
U.S. forces in Afghanistan, AND all around the world.
This can be very powerful.
Please, just send this to all the people in your address book.
Do not stop the wheel, please.... Of all the gifts you could give
a US Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, or Coast Guardsman,
Prayer is the very best one.....
May the wind sing to you and the sun rise in your heart...
