To Mrs. Mac's Soldier Son

Dear Mrs. Mac

Ever since reading your comment I have been thinking about this song that I am now dedicating to your son.

I will have to say "To be continued!"
Have to pick up kids for Sunday School....Love Terry

Continuation...

Well Mrs. Mac, it must seem strange to you why I picked this video, so let me explain to you.

Do you remember almost two years ago when your soldier son was home on leave and he wanted to obey His Lord and be baptised?

Well it was a great day of rejoicing not only for the Mac Family but to your Christian Blogger friends.

It was so nice, that I have copied and pasted your post.

Oh! I will be forever grateful to Passing-thru for teaching me this "skill"!

Heaven's Rejoicing ... And Mama's Happy

"Tonight my dear son, Patrick, got baptized at church. We're pretty excited about his decision and pray the Good Lord will keep a close eye on him as he travels with the military and beyond. This mama is sleeping well tonight."

How precious!

What a beautiful thing! God bless him. My husband was baptized three summers ago after he got saved. There's just something really special about that. Last year I went to Israel and got baptized a second time (I figured it was kinda like renewing my vows) in the Jordan. That was wild!

You are truly blessed, Mrs. Mac... much cause for rejoicing! You and I share the same maiden name, but did I ever tell you I have a brother named Patrick? :-)

Wow! I haven't checked your blog since forever. Well, before the wedding, anyway. Great pictures, and this is the best news of all. I remember that young man when he was a very long skinny kid. :o)

I'm very happy for you. There is nothing makes a mother happier than knowing her children walk with God.

Gramma s is so right Mrs. Mac.. And the Lord agrees with her..

3 John 1:4I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

Now do you see why I kept thinking of this song Mrs. Mac as far as your precious soldier son is concerned?

You see, Patrick has not only pledged allegiance to his flag and to his country, he has forever pledged allegiance to His God.

God bless him and keep him safe and bring home safely whenever his service is done!

God bless him and keep him and bring him Home safely or until the Lord does come to take us ALL Home where his service will NEVER be done!........Love Terry

PS I am sure that my Felisol and that Indian Princess Amrita and Mr. Jim and even more would have been here in the comments but that is before we knew them.!

Oh vanish the thought that there was ever a time we DIDN'T know them, eh?

God Bless America

Happy July Fourth to our precious American neighbors and friends.
Bless the troops and your beloved President Bush....Love Bernie and Terry

Birthday Greetings

Felisol and Gunnar from "On the Far Side Of the Sea" are going to visit Mom Ljung today, for you see today Mom will be the Birthday Girl!

Do you see the other picture of Amrita's pretty Mama from "Yesu Garden" http://yesugarden.blogspot.com/ Well she was the birthday girl a little over a week ago, but it is never too late to wish her a Happy Birthday too, eh?

So that is exactly what we are doing.

We wish these two beautiful true women of the Lord a blessed and Happy Birthday....Love Bernie and Terry

Thank you Serina, Felisol and Gunnar's princess daughter for the use of this really nice picture that you took of the sea shore.

Happy Canada Day

Happy Birthday Canada!

Country Profile: CanadaEncyclopedia: CanadaMap: Canada
The year 2008 marks the 141th celebration of Canada Day, which commemorates the day that Canada became a nation. The holiday is observed on July 1 (unless that date falls on a Sunday, in which case Canada Day is observed the following day). On July 1, 1867, the British North America Act united the British colonies of Upper Canada, Lower Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia into "one dominion under the name of Canada." These four colonies became Canada's first four provinces; Lower Canada was renamed Quebec, and Upper Canada was renamed Ontario. The July 1 holiday was known as Dominion Day until October 27, 1982, when an act of parliament established the name Canada Day. The new name symbolized a step away from Canada's colonial past. The holiday had also sometimes been known as First of July or Confederation Day. Like Fourth of July festivities in the United States, Canada Day is celebrated with such summer pleasures as picnics, barbeques, and fireworks. The name Canada derives from an Iroquoian word for "village," kanata, that French explorers heard used to refer to the area near present-day Quebec City. Today, Canada comprises ten provinces and three territories.

I can never think of Canada without also thinking about the United States. We live almost 30 miles from the border of Fort Erie and Buffalo.

The Americans have always been our friends!

Our veranda is filled with Canadian and American Flags much to the displeasure of some of our neighbors and these flag shall stay there until at least a week after July fourth!

So we are wishing for our country a "Happy Canada Day!......Love Bernie and Terry

Nineteen Years Married..Jel and Stan

Although it is three days early, I find I have a little time so I thought that I would wish our Sunshine and her husband Stan a very Happy Anniversary.
The way life has been lately, sometimes I haven't a whole lot of time to be at the computer, so I decided that in case I haven't the time before July 1st, I had better have this done ahead of the game!
That's OK...If everyone knows three days early, then everybody can make their way up to Jel's blog and wish her a very Happy Nineteenth Anniversary! http://jelmyplace.blogspot.com
She surely deserves it for all the sunshine and happiness that she brings into our lives and so does her husband, Stan because of his sharing his own little sweetheart with so many of us!
I thought about this song as I was thinking about this special couple.
Bernie and I dedicate it to them!
God bless you both Jel and Stan, two of His own dear children........Love Bernie and Terry
