"Letters From War" by Mark Schultz

I just listened to this amazing song and got teary-eyed; I remember vividly the day I had to drive to the airport in Cleveland to put my husband on a plane that was the first part of his trip to Iraq for the war.

Oh my goodness...all of those emotions flooded back as I watched the video.

Thankfully, he made it back in one piece physically, but please pray for him. He's not ok mentally.

We spent the day together, though. His family reunion began at 3:00, and all of us attended it together. We had a wonderful time!

Dear God in heaven, I pray for military families everywhere!

Father, I got choked up listening to that song. It reminded me of the hell I went through as a military wife, but I'm also reminded that there are so many spouses still living through that pain and fear. Lord, please give them peace. Remove all fear, and allow them to be able to function to take care of their children until their loved ones return. Relieve their anxiety and depression, Lord. Give them joy. In Jesus' name, amen.
