To our veterans - thank you for your service.

It costs $00.00 to thank God for being alive.

Monday November 12, 2018

It's time to get out of your shell. Even though your shell is your protection and your safe place, it can be a lonely place. May God bless you to stretch and partake in the celebration of life all around you. Go ahead, stick your neck
out.

GRANDFATHER'S STORY

"On Memorial Day we remember veterans we have lost, but Veterans Day is to celebrate those who live."

by Benjamin Busch

My grandfather told only one story about his years in the Army. He served in the 10th Mountain Division fighting the Nazis in the Italian Alps. The only evidence of those years I knew of was a frayed backpack and skis he kept, but there was more.

When I was 13 or so, my father and I sat with my grandfather in his den. I asked him about a small painting of a rocky peak capped with snow he had made with strokes of blue, gray and white years ago. My grandfather looked at it for a moment.

He said, "I remember this kid, a private. We were being shelled by artillery, but they were shooting too high. We could hear the rounds pass just over our heads and hit the mountain somewhere behind us. It shook the ground. There was this kid crouched across from me. As the rounds went over, I could see the color leave his face, and when they exploded behind us, I could see it come back. Up there on that mountain. That kid's face, dying and coming back to life, over and over. I'll never forget it."

I learned, later, that he had made the painting while he recovered from his wounds in a hospital at the end of the war. I looked at my father, who was leaning so far forward I thought he might fall out of his chair. His eyes were wide and, for a moment, he looked younger than I. He had never served in the military but was a writer, and storytelling was what he had devoted his life to.

I didn't realize he'd been waiting since 1945 for a single story about the war from his father. My grandfather never told another...READ MORE

I had requested prayer for my brothers son 5 days back. Almost 76 people have prayed, thanks so much . I called my brother and heard the baby recovered the very next day after I posted here and back up on his feet quickly. Its a miracle of all your faith and God responding to your prayers. Thank you all.

Hi Susan,

Thank you so much for all of the hard work, and dedication that you put into Prayables! I sat here with tears in my eye's as I read the ( Daily Feature ) I am a Vietnam Veteran. I can relate to the depression and the thoughts about suicide. I'm very thankful for my supportive wife and for an amazing Psychiatrist who became my friend.

When I read about the girl that took her life because they didn't have $15.00 for bus fare I cried. ( Thank goodness for the Friendship Bench) That's one of the reasons I'm involved in the Celebrate Recovery Program's. There are so many people who just need a kind word, a smile or a hug and someone who will listen. I Was at one of our Celebrate Recovery Groups which are Christ Centered Program's and I had an opportunity to talk talk with a young woman, who was having a difficult time with depression, and so I showed her this email that you sent me, and she really liked what she read and asked me where I got it. And so I told her about you, and all of the wonderful things that you do, and all of the people that you help, and showed her how to receive ( Prayables ) (Thank You ) Susan, You're a very special and beautiful young lady.

( I have a note book where I write down acrostics, quotes or something someone shares with me so that I can pass it along to someone else ( Here are a few things that I heard that I will share with you!)

1- We are all broken, that's how the light gets in.

2- In life we have 3 Choices.

A- Give up.

B- Give in.

C- Give it all you've got.

(( Life is like a Camera ))

Capture the good times.

Develop from the negatives!

And, if things don't work out. Take another shot.

Sincerely,

Doc V W.
