Letters From War

Feb 4

Honey,
Thanks for getting me some shoes. I will try them out tomorrow.
Everything is going okay here. I'm very tired and my knees hurt today, though. I don't think it's anything to worry about.
I'm keeping a journal here. So just in case anything happens make sure you look for it.
I'm doing my best to stay safe for you. I try not to go outside during the times I shouldn't. I lock my door whenever I'm in my room.
I have been eating pretty good and usually remember to take my vitamins. I didn't even remember how old I am when someone asked the other day. :)
I just wanted to send you a quick letter to brighten your day.
I think of you all the time.
I love you

Thank you for sharing these with us.

And you're welcome about the teen blog. I figured it would bless more than just me, although I was talking about my own teens. The universal truths of adolescence are pretty predictable. Sometimes.

Hugs to you.

*deep breath*

love, love, love these.

Becky said...

Prayers for his safety and comfort for you. ((Hugs)) to you, friend.

Alana said...

So sweet. How you must miss him.

Andrea Frazer said...

Wow. If it's any consolation, there are times I want to send my husband off to war so I can be ALONE.

Seriously, I'm sorry he's so far from you. Those letters are so sweet.

I wish I could help you. I really do.

Even though I don't know you. So that would make me a stalker.

Hmmmm. How about lots of thoughts and prayers???

Gretchen said...

Lord, keep him safe and return him soon, I pray. In Jesus' name. Amen.

mel, becky, gretchen, shauna = cyberhugs are the BEST kind of ever there were for me! (see my post about personal space)
becky, gretchen, mamap, shauna = I truly covet your prayers. I know that God hears you (and me too)
ALL = I WANT HIM TO COME HOME TOO
mamap = I don't think you have any idea what a ray of sunshine you are to me. You get my sense of humor, and always leave me a drop of laughter.

I can not add anything that others have not already said. I just wanted to say again that I am praying for him, you and the kids during this time.

Here is another hug! :o)
