Dear Mom:
Boy I'm really an old salt boy now. Had some really rough weather a few days and quite a few got sick. Somehow I've missed getting sick. Lucky me! Rather enjoyed it...
They tell us we can say where we think we're going so I say I think will be in England in a very few days. Sure will be good to get something solid under my feet and start eating 3 meals a day again...
Love and Kisses,
Milton
*76 years ago today, my father wrote a letter home to his mother from somewhere in the Atlantic. He was on a troop ship. None of the men knew where they were going; where they'd be assigned to do their part in fighting for freedom. Dad guessed they were headed to England and he was right.
God put them in that place and time for a reason. He has us here too, in this place and time. We may not know exactly where we are headed as a nation, but we do know we are here exactly where God wants us. We are here to fight for our nation's freedom which is being threatened. We may have some rough waters but we must hold fast. There will again be a day when people are free to worship, free to work, and free to feed their families those 3 meals a day.
Every good comes with sacrifice. Be ready to take that voyage to fight and pray. Trust that wherever we land, God has us where He wants us and He has a plan. He will be victorious.*
Thanks, Betty. It's sobering.
