A Thought about a safe place.
I saw a great posting today where the author said that they needed a place to hide with their spouse’s friends are coming over for the holiday weekend and that they have not meet each other before.I suggested that maybe a happy place to go in their head to hide on a stressful situation.
I will admit right here and now that I do have such a place to run to when needed. In fact I have several places.One is the Hurst Castle grounds when every thing is in bloom.Another is the Hammered Dulcimer festival where I won the Third Place Novice Award.there are a few other places that I enjoy visiting.some in California,Illinois,Ohio and several other places that I have been to.
Having a safe place is a great thing to have.I hope that every one has such a place where they can go to when they need a safe place to hide in when needed.
so there for I will add the other safe place to be if you need it,here is a Big hug for those that need it as well.
I hope that every one has a Great Memorial day weekend.

FRIENDS ARE BORN, NOT MADE
This is a poem being sent from a Marine to his Dad.
For those who take the time to read it, you’ll see a letter from him
to his Dad at the bottom. It makes you truly thankful for not only the
Marines, but ALL of our troops.
THE MARINE
We all came together,
Both young and old
To fight for our freedom,
To stand and be bold.
In the midst of all evil,
We stand our ground,
And we protect our country
From all terror around.
Peace and not war,
Is what some people say.
But I’ll give my life,
So you can live the American way.
I give you the right
To talk of your peace.
To stand in your groups,
and protest in our streets.
But still I fight on,
I don’t bitch, I don’t whine.
I’m just one of the people
Who is doing your time.
I’m harder than nails,
Stronger than any machine.
I’m the immortal soldier,
I’m a U.S. MARINE!
So stand in my shoes,
And leave from your home.
Fight for the people who hate you,
With the protests they’ve shown.
Fight for the stranger,
Fight for the young.
So they all may have,
The greatest freedom you’ve won.
Fight for the sick,
Fight for the poor,
Fight for the cripple,
Who lives next door.
But when your time comes,
Do what I’ve done.
For if you stand up for freedom,
You’ll stand till the fight’s done ….

Do me a favor and label this ‘The Marine’ and send it to everybody on
your email list. Even leave this letter in it. I want this rolling all over the US ; I
want every home reading it. Every eye seeing it. And every heart to feel it. So can you please send this for me?
I would but my email time isn’t that long and I don’t have much time anyway.
You know what Dad? I wondered what it would be like to truly understand what JFK said in his inaugural speech. ‘When the time comes to lay down my life for my country,I do not cower from this responsibility. I welcome it.’
Well, now I know.
And I do. Dad, I welcome the opportunity to do what I do. Even though
I have left behind a beautiful wife, and I will miss the birth of our first born child, I would do it 70 times over to fight for the place that God has made for my home.
I love you all and I miss you very much.
I wish I could be there when Sandi has our baby, but tell her that I
love her, and Lord willing, I will be coming home soon. Give Mom a
great big hug from me and give one to yourself too.
Aaron
Please let this marine (and all our military) know we care by passing
his poem onto your friends even if you don’t usually take time to forward mail.
do it this time!
Thanks,
If this touched you as much as it touched me, please forward it on.
Let’s help Aaron’s dad spread the word ..
FREEDOM isn’t FREE Someone
pays for you and me.
God bless you !
