Never Forget
May you be blessed with appreciation for sacrifice, a memory that never forgets the heroes, and the will to stand up and proudly say, God Bless America.
Home is
May you be blessed to know, wherever you hang your hat is home.
When Life Gives You Lemons
May you be blessed to enjoy the well-deserved sweetness of turning bad to good, weakness to strength, and disadvantage to opportunity. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

Patriotic Memorial Day Prayer
Dear God, make not my patriotism an “only if” thing. I pray for a full heart that never puts conditions on love for my country, its leaders, and its defenders.
I shall not judge. Those who have fallen deserve my unwavering commitment. Their families need my support. Thank You, holy King, of every human being.
Reward Waits
Dear God, who surrounds me with courage. Thank You for Your holy embrace. I shall not fear, I will not weep. With Your help, I will carry on to the finish, where reward waits for me.
Circle of Protection
Please, dear God, protect my circle of family and friends whose love and lives I cherish. Spread Your peace, shine Your light, and scatter blessings upon us. Wondrous are You, O Lord! Thank You.
