We honor them now, but what happens 5 or 10 years down line. Will we still remember their courage and sacrifice.

Will we honor our debt to them when this crisis is over and they come home and have to resume a "normal life."

I truly hope so.

The terrorists are just latest enemy who've foolishly assumed we're weak and pampered.

I think Charlie Daniels says in best in his song " In America."

"We may fight among ourselves, but outsiders better leave us alone."

Take time to Remember Heroes who have us walking proud.

God Bless,

Hate puts unnecessary stress on your body. It is a well-known fact, proven by numerous studies, that bitterness and hate can actually make you sick. A great number of people in world don't really belong in a hospital, because root of their problem is not physical but is mental. The moment they forgive and let go of their hate they will start to get well.

There is another reason why you need to forgive. If you don't forgive you actually prevent blessings from flowing to you. The Bible says that before you pray for anything first forgive those who wronged you, and then your Father in heaven will forgive you your wrongs. So there you can see that blessings are closely connected to your forgiving others.

I have personal experience of this. I used to be very cynical about life and didn't forgive easily. At time I also struggled in every area of my life. Things just didn't seem to work out for me. It is as if everything that could go wrong, always went wrong. That was until somebody told me to take a look at my attitude. And when I forgave those who wronged me and changed my attitude, everything else changed. It didn't happen overnight. It took a while, but I could see and feel difference.

Now you may ask how do you know when you've really forgiven someone? Here's key. If after you've "forgiven" that person you still experience a negative sting whenever you think of him or her, it means you still have work to do. If however you don't have negative feelings towards that person it means you are free.

Are things not working out in your life, despite you doing all "right" things? Is it possible that you have unforgiveness in your heart? It is certainly something to think about!
