"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:45
It just became real when...
"Our youth interacted with 170 plus military kids who... know nothing different than for mommy or daddy to be gone for long periods of time. Who know nothing different than that mommy or daddy and sometimes both go and fight in a war that might just take their life. Who move constantly, and who get to speak to their mommies or daddies if lucky once or twice a month.
This is reality for these babies, so as you look at these faces, pray for them! Pray that Jesus will become the one thing that is consistent in their lives. That they will learn to depend upon Him, and that they will know He is ever so present 24/7 and beyond.
Jesus these are precious creations of Yours. I ask You to fill them with Your presence, Your protection, peace, and love as they grow. Lord these are very special boys and girls and it was a privilege to love on them, encourage them, and wrap our arms around them. Bless them Lord Jesus, shine Your light upon them. O' Lord they are so precious. Give them strength and most of all give them a deeper understanding of who You are. Amen
