| Psalm 118:24  |  Christmas in Heaven
Christmas in Heaven I drove by the post office today, saw the flag at half mast. A soldiers duty was fulfilled at last There's a soldier girl or boy Not coming back to Illinois As a parent with a son serving so far away. I know, the pain someone feels today. Someone died for you and me. Another hero lost fighting for his country. Some soldier's in heaven this Christmas, a new warrior at the pearly gate. We're all saddened at this soldier's early fate. Long ago, God sent his son to save us, a soldier duty is to protect us as well. We pray, that peace can be found but, only time will tell. Amazing grace, how sweet that sounds, a soldier died to save us. Another brave soldier will be in heaven this Christmas YouTube - Judy Collins - "Amazing Grace" chris

My husband is deploying to Afghanistan at the end of January. This poem is just so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

I'll read posts on here about people wanting to die. I know soldiers wanting to come home alive to be back with family and friends. Isn't life strange!

Pins And Needles There's A Void In A Soldier's Families Heart That, Spans The Distance While, They're Apart. There's Times When, You Hold Your Breathe When, You Hear The News About A Soldier's Death Then, You'll Breath A Sigh Of Relief While, Some Other Family Will Mourn And Have Grief. But, A Soldier's Family Will Also Feel The Pain Of Any Soldier Not Coming Back Home Again. While Many People Go About Their Daily Lives. It's Not The Same For The Soldier's Family, Husband And Wives. You Count The Hours Of The Day Until Your Soldier's Tour Ends You Sit On Pins And Needles Until, Your Soldier Is Home Again Chris
