POTD #21 - One Last Picture

My friend Carrie took this picture of me and Frank at the hangar before the guys took off... not too bad for 5am! LOL

I heard from Frank around 3:00 this afternoon... he was stuck in Ireland. Their plane had some problems. They were there overnight so they got to stay in a hotel and had a good meal! I am guessing they are back on their way again since I haven't heard from him for awhile. Thanks for keeping him in your prayers!

thats a great photo of you two. I will pray the days go by twice as fast as normal. Hang in there, thanks for your sacrafice and service.

That's a really nice pic of you and Frank! I asked Frank, is there ever a plane that DOESN'T 'break down' to/from deployment?! Seems it happens every time!

Oh the Luck of Ireland :o) Love it there! That is why I named my 2 cats w/ Irish names: Eireann (which means Ireland) & Eilish which means Elizabeth. My grandfather is from Ireland and the people there are the most nicest and very welcoming! That is a great pic of both of you! I will pray for his tour and safe return back home. How long does an US Army do an Tour? My UK Cousins who are in the British Military - they only do 6 months tours nothing more. My cousin will be going to Afghanistan possibly later this year or early next year. He is hoping to come and see me before he goes on his next tour!

Praying. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for all of you. A big thank you to all our service men and women!! My brother-in-law is in Korea right now and will be doing a tour in Afghanistan next year.

I can't imagine being a military wife. I married my husband during college and went through years of medical school and residency, with him gone up to five nights a week and doing nothing but sleeping when he was home. That's nothing like knowing he'd be gone for months straight though. At least I had him home in body although not in spirit most of the time! You guys will be in my prayers.

Glad you've got this special picture!
Know that I'm always here praying!
Psalm 34:15, 17-18: The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Beautiful picture. Franks name is on our special intentions list in church. He is being prayed for daily.

My mom went through this for years, my Dad got out of the army when she was pregnant with my younger sister. This was before Internet and texts and they said it made life with a young family difficult. Even when he wasn't on an isolated tour, we kids had no way to connect with him.

Praying for you all!
