[…]grin. Through laughs and tears we all just stood there hugging each other. It was the reunion of a lifetime, a miracle for the four of us! That reunion was over thirty-three years ago, and I still get goose bumps when I think of it. Yet, today I see a very similar picture. As mothers of young children, we are so often told that our children are too young to understand about their heavenly Father.

[…]and fortitude to tackle this topic head on. Taking care of a soldier in marriage and family life should be foremost in a training plan and command philosophy. Giving them the tools, such as a Bible study like this, and establishing an environment to ensure their success is your responsibility as a leader. The military is a family–and for many of us, the only one we have from time-to-time. We must take care of each other to ensure victory on all fronts and remain family strong!

In doing this, I trust you will be even more successful in the terms that others commonly think of as those of a leader. The difference will be leadership for God’s glory, service to the Lord, and service to those you lead.

[…]Lord that you have (2 Cor. 6:14). 9. Watch your ENTERTAINMENT choices (Col. 3:2). The purpose of life is not to “get stuff and have fun.” It is rather to serve Christ. We need godly Christian men and women serving in our Armed Forces. TIP: Don’t feed your face until you feed your soul. God’s Word will kindle a prayer response (Acts 17:11). 10.
