My friend Danielle’s sweet little girl, who lost her daddy in 2010, is in this Christmas video at 1:02…
You are all-powerful, God, and live forever in light and joy. Look with pity and love, we beg You, on those men and women who bravely fought and gallantly died for their country. By laying down their lives, they showed supreme love for others.
Accept, we ask You, their sacrifice and their belief in the justice of the cause they died for. Let their offering not be in vain. Please forgive any sins and faults they may have committed. Speedily, we implore You, bring them into Your Presence where fear, sadness, mourning, and death cannot exist.
Have pity in Your loving kindness on those they leave behind. In Your own unsearchable ways, make good for their absence, and lavishly bestow Your love and consolations on those deprived of their presence. This we ask in the Name of Christ, our Victor King. Amen.
Total tear jerker. Thank you for the reminder to not forget these heroes and the families who miss them.
Good morning, Cheerful Christmas to you, and to all your marvellous family! thank you for giving me so much joy and happiness across your blog! You are all so happy! your smiles on your blog illuminate my life!

My son leaves for the Marines in June and my husband was in the Navy – this was beautiful.
Thank you for posting this beautiful and sobering prayer and video. Every year we plan out different weekly prayer intentions during advent. I'm def. going to bookmark this for our prayer intentions next year.
