"It is not good for all our wishes to be filled; through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest." ~ Greek Proverb

"One cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war." ~ Albert Einstein

Although I have my own opinions on the war, today is not the day to spout them. Today is a day to recognize and pray for soldiers the world over. Whether they are ours (US), those of our allies or of our "enemies".

Every soldier has his or her own reason - selfless or selfish - for signing up but it cannot be denied that it can be one of the most brutal jobs one can have. Brutal mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

Today, I ask for you to join me in prayer for all soldiers. Even those who are not "ours". Even if we eventually "win" the wars we are involved in, we will have lost many, many people. Maybe even some who would have been our greatest leaders.

"A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world." ~ John 16:21 (New King James Version)

Mother's Day is one of those holidays that has dual meaning for me. First, as a child and now, as a mother. It's little weird to be working on a secret project for my mom with my son while he's simultaneously working on a secret project for me with my mom.

At any rate, today is a day to pray and give thanks for our mothers. Even if you mother was not the greatest, spend a few seconds at least thinking one nice thing about her. After all, regardless of who she was or wasn't, she did give the world one of it's most glorious blessings: a child. You.
