At 10 am this morning I received a prayer request from Church. Cathy Mitchell, who attends Spring Hills, called in to our secretary. Her husband, Tony, is an Air Force commander in Afghanistan. She received an urgent email from him this morning. It said, "We need Christians to pray, pray, pray. We're in a Blood Bath here!" Please pray for God's protection of our troops and HIS wisdom for their commanders. Pass this on to as many as you think will respond. Prayer Wheel Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our ground troops in Afghanistan. There is nothing attached, This can be very powerful.... Just send this to all the people in your address book. Do not stop the wheel, please. Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier,Prayer is the best!! God Bless You!

By Bishop T.D. Jakes Prayer "When you are DOWN to nothing ... God is UP to something" Father, in the Name of Jesus, bless the one reading this in a special way. Open supernatural doors in their life today. Save and set free! Give them a double portion of your Spirit as we take back everything that the devil has stolen: Emotional Health, Physical Health, Finances, Relationships, Children, Jobs, Homes, Marriages. cancel every plot, plan and scheme the enemy has devised against them, in the MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS. And I declare: NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST THEM WILL PROSPER. I speak LIFE into every dead situation. And, I thank you that nothing is over until YOU say it's over! I speak prophetically into their lives and to their situations: Their household is blessed; Their health is blessed; Their marriage is blessed; Their finances are blessed; Their jobs are blessed; Their children are blessed; Their grandchildren are blessed; Their parents are blessed; Their siblings are blessed; Their ministries are blessed; and, Their decisions are blessed. Husbands are on the way; Wives are on the way; Mortgages are paid and cancelled; Their hearts' desires are on the way; according to YOUR perfect will and plan for their lives. IN JESUS' NAME! AMEN! Pray this prayer back to the one who prayed it for you, then send to EVERYBODY YOU KNOW. Within hours countless people will have prayed for you, and you will have caused a multitude of people to pray to God for other people. In our daily lives, we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but the gratefulness that makes us happy."
PICK YOUR CROSS A young man was at the end of his rope, seeing no way out, dropped to His knees in prayer. "Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy of a cross to bear." The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room. Then, open that other door and pick out any cross you wish." The man was filled with relief said, "Thank you, Lord," and he did as he was told. Upon entering the other door, he saw many crosses, some so large the tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall. "I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered. And the Lord replied, " My son, that is the cross you just brought in." - - - - - - - - - When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more fortunate than you imagined. YOUR CROSS Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, There will always be sunshine after the rain. Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall, But God's always there to help you through it all.

No firefighter website could be without this special prayer Fireman's Prayer When I am called to duty, God Where ever flames may rage Give me the strength to save some life Whatever be its age Help me embrace a little child Before it is to late Or save an older person from The horror of that fate Enable me to be alert And hear the weakest shout And quickly and efficiently to put the fire out I want to fill my calling and To give the best in me To guard my every neighbor and protect his property And if according to your will I have to give my life Please bless with your protecting hand My children and my wife ~Author Unkown~
FIREMANS WIFES PRAYER The table's set, the meal's prepared, our guests will soon arrive. My husband once more disappears with a hope of keeping a child alive. While waiting at home alone, our plans having gone awry, My first impulse is merely to sit right down and cry. But soon again I realize the importance of my life When I agreed to take on the duties of being a Fireman's wife. While there are many drawbacks, I'll take them in my stride, Knowing "My Daddy saved a life" our children can say with pride. The gusting winds and raging flames may be his final fate. But with God's help I can remain my Fireman's faithful mate. Author Unknown
My Daddy's a Fireman We're seldom named in poems, though we do have charm and poise, Firemen never seem to have girls it's always boys, boys, boys! Well, my Daddy's a fireman, and I'm proud as I can be, While my name isn't Tommy or Billy, he loves me 'cause I'm me. He needs both me and Mommy to remind him of things to do, Like going to Church on Sunday and emptying the garbage, too. One day he took me with him to his firehouse downtown, I sat in the big red engine and pushed the siren down. At times, I like to fool him; make believe I'm asleep at night, He'd whisper; "Nite-nite, little darlin', don't let the bed bugs bite!" Please don't tell anybody, I once saw my Daddy cry, He fought a real bad fire and told Mommy he saw someone die. When he fights these fires, I guess I'm to young to know, He's always helping people ~ and, that's why I love him so. The reason I wrote this poem is to explain the best I can, Girls, just like boys, can say with pride ~ MY DADDY'S A FIREMAN.
The 23 Psalm The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down In green pastures; He leadeth me Beside the still waters; He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths Of righteousness for His Name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley Of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff They comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me In the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall Follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house Of the Lord for ever.
