As the last few days before Christmas speed by with a whirlwind of activity. Sue and I took time to go to Glenn Beck’s “Christmas Sweater”. Last night. What a blessing! For those who are not fans of Glenn Beck, You will love this anyway and may gain some insight into his strange behavior on the Radio. For those who are fans this takes on a whole new dimension. If you were not able to attend one of his stage performances , I strongly recommend his best selling book by the same title.

Sue and I are living the American Dream as we enter the down hill side of this race. Fortunate to have overcome many obstacles including my paralysis, alcoholism, PTSD, bankruptcy, suicide of my brother and father. Sudden loss of my mother and many medical, emotional and financial challenges in our lives together.

Now comes the reward for persevering and overcoming with God’s direction and power. We now have the blessing of freedom, financially, spiritually, emotionally, and with 2 successful adult children and a wonderful Granddaughter to bestow our blessings on we celebrate the ability to give back abundantly.

We have been blessed in countless ways and return those blessings in more creative ways daily. We have shared time and fellowship also with many of you here at Allmilitary.com over the last year and have cherished that time.

We want to sow into each of you some of the blessings we have received over the years and will continue to share this wisdom, gained at a great price.
The most valuable commodity we have to share is this wisdom. Some will ignore it, some will receive it and not use it to move the ball forward, some will pick it up and make it a part of who they are and become prosperous as a result. Hopefully most of you will be in the latter category and share it with others as well.

What ever you choose to do with this gift we bring, be diligent and tenacious in all you do. Live zealously and celebrate both trials, challenges and triumphs equally.

The words of this Christmas song express our love and prayer for each of you this year as you face your own trials, challenges and triumphs.

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Till ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head
“There is no peace on earth,” I said,
“For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.”

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men.”

Written in the darkest days of the Civil War by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Blessings of our Father and Savior to each and all!

Merry Christmas!
