Not talking about the Three Doors Down rock song Citizen Soldier, or our Country’s National Guard, for whom the song is dedicated.
Talking about all the active duty men and women military personnel I’ve seen this week. Orlando to Atlanta, Atlanta to Columbia, Columbia to Atlanta, and Atlanta to Dallas.
Decided, in the spirit of giving, to not only give thanks internally, but to give thanks externally.
So I awkwardly asked how best to show appreciation for their efforts. They all said basically the same thing.
A simple thank you means a lot.
And so that’s what I’ve been doing, going only a little out of my way (that’s all it takes), to thank each and every one I pass.
The Lord works in mysterious ways. One of the service men, heading back to Iraq and leaving behind a wife and three children (16, 10, 6) at Christmas time, wound up being an angel for me about five minutes later.
When driving through Frankenmuth, Michigan, I’m
always intrigued with the many simple little crosses
I see in the front yards of the homes we pass by.
Those crosses are a statement of support for the
Frankenmuth’s Christian foundation.
Two years ago an atheist living there complained
about two crosses on a bridge in town. He
requested that they be removed, and so the town
removed them.
Then he decided that since he was so successful
with that, the city shield should also be changed
since it had on it, along with other symbols, a
heart with a cross inside signifying the city’s
Lutheran beginnings.
At that point, the residents decided they had had
enough. Hundreds of residents made their
opinions known by placing small crosses in their
front yards.
Seeing this quiet but powerful statement from
the community, the man removed his complaint.
Those simple crosses remain in those front yards
today.
