Thankful Thursday ~ Military/Veterans

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

Yesterday “Veterans Day” was celebrated here in the US. I know that some may across the globe do not celebrate this particular day…But I wanted to still be write a quick thankful post about the military/veterans.

No matter how you feel about wars in general, but let us still be thankful for the men and women who put their lives on hold to serve their country. You see, my Beloved is a veteran. I met him while he served in Germany 27 years ago 🙂 …

Yes, Germany was ‘occupied’ by the US, but I am thankful for that. You know why? Because I was blessed enough to grow up in the part that was ‘free‘ despite its occupation. If you have ever studied a little history, international history, Western Germany was rebuild by the US under the Marshall Plan (click the link to find out more). So, yes, I am thankful for military and their services.

What are you thankful for today? Please share with us in leaving your link below to your Thankful Thursday post.

Thank you for stopping by today…Remember: Let Christ’s peace rule your heart…and be thankful.

  1. Iris, Perfect post and I echo you 100%. Amen.

    Lord, protect our troops. Place a blessing upon them and honor their valor and perseverance. Honor them and their families. In Jesus name. Amen

  2. I join you in gratitude for those who have served. Both my husband and father are veterans, and we are so thankful for all they did.
    Thank you Iris for the sweet birthday card. You made me feel so special. You have always been such a dear friend.

  3. Iris, thank you for the link about the Marshall Plan. I’m so glad that you grew up on the free side of Germany. I would love to talk more to you about your experiences growing up. I think we need to get together again soon, you AZ gal.

    Love you,
    Debbie

  4. Iris, I echo your thanks to our troops and also wrote my TT post on saluting our veterans. This touches my heartstrings as I have a son in the services and served a year overseas. The sacrifices that these men and women and their families make is great and we need to not forget the cost that comes with our freedom. Happy TT!

  5. I too am thankful for the men and women who are now or have in the past served their country. It is because of those men and women that we enjoy much of the freedoms that we take for granted. I pray that the Lord bless them and keep them, that He makes His face to shine upon them, and gives them peace. I pray that the families that are left behind know that we are greatful for their sacrifices and that they be comforted while they are apart. And I pray Christ’s peace upon all who have lost someone in the military ~Amen

  6. Hello Iris,
    There has been so much bloodshed among European people in the two “World” Wars. No wonder we are in this difficult situation today, since the bloom of our nations has fallen victim of the greed and pride of the few. Let us pray that God rests their soul in peace and that His wisdom will guide us to the path of Faith and Honour.
    thank you for hosting. Blessings to you and yours.

  7. I know I’m a day late but this is my first time posting on Thankful Thursday. I’m so glad I found ths group. God bless our military, their family, and our country.
