No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 2 Timothy 2:4

Let us not forget our soldiers on this special weekend who fought for our freedom. 

A SOLDIER

A soldier is a nobody, we hear lots of people say.
He is the outcast of the world and always in the way.

We admit there are bad ones from the Army to the Marines,
but the majority you will find, the most worthy ever seen.

Most people condemn the soldier when he stops to take a drink or two,
but does a soldier condemn you, when you stop to take a few.

Now don't scorn the soldier but clasp him by the hand,
for the uniform he wears means protection to our land.

The goverment picks its soldier from the million far and wide,
so please place him as your equal good buddies side by side.

When a soldier goes to battle you cheer him on the way,
you say he is a hero when in the ground he lay.

But the hardest battle of the soldier is in the time of peace,
when all mock and scorn him and treat him like a beast.

With these few lines we close sir, we hope we don't offend
but when you meet a soldier just treat him like a friend.

The Beauty of the Lord can be seen in us all.

 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be on us: and establish you the work of our hands on us; yes, the work of our hands establish you it.-Psalm 90:17

Let the kindness and favor of the Lord our God be with us. Allow His gracious acts to shine upon us. The steps of a man are established by the LORD, And He delights in his way.

Let the Sweet Holy Spirit appear so that it may convert our hearts. The Lord will establish peace for us. He will perform for us all our works.

One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple.

Let His beauty shine on us.
The beauty of His gracious influence
The beauty of His glorious presence.
Let it be in us and do a great work.

Ref. Isaiah 26:12 Psalm 27:4 Psalm 37:23
