Veterans Day!

The following paragraph is from Wikipedia:
Veterans Day, formerly Armistice Day, is an annual United States holiday honoring military veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)

I just want to take the time to thank all of the veterans for their service to this great nation!!!!!!!
I also want to thank the families that have sacrificed so much to have their loved ones away, fighting for our freedoms!!!!!!! I am so grateful for freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and all of our liberating freedoms in the USA!  We are blessed by God Almighty! 
  I am especially grateful for those who gave their all, their lives,for me to be able to enjoy continued freedom...  As they say, freedom isn't free.  There has been a lot of American blood spilled for our freedoms. 
  This takes my mind back about 2000 yrs. ago, to a man called Jesus and a cross on Calvary.  Jesus died for our ultimate freedom from sin and death.  Not just a temporary freedom like America enjoys, but an eternal freedom with God, in His kingdom, that will stand forever! 
  Revelation 21:1-5 says, "I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and so had the sea. Then I saw New Jerusalem, that holy city, coming down from God in heaven. It was like a bride dressed in her wedding gown and ready to meet her husband.
   I heard a loud voice shout from the throne:
God's home is now with his people. He will live with them, and they will be his own. Yes, God will make his home among his people.  He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain. These things of the past are gone forever."  No more war, no more hospitals, no more divorce, no more abuse, no more addiction, no more lies, no more fear, no more loneliness, no more!  Jesus said on the cross, "It is finished!"  Sin will be forever finished, NO MORE!!!!!!!  Praise God for His love and mercy to all of us on this planet! 
  God's best 2 U,       Joy J
