This Thursday, Israel celebrates her 64th year as a country. In honor of this day, our family is going to visit two military bases this week. We plan to print several hundred copies of the following picture and will give them out along with some candy to the soldiers we meet:
I would be thrilled if you could leave comments here in this post congratulating these soldiers and encouraging them to continue defending their country. Basically EVERY SINGLE 18-21 year old Israeli Jew serves in the military here, young men AND young ladies, unless they are excused for religious purposes. When other countries are sending their kids off to college, this country is sending their kids off to the army.
We will put your notes together, print them, and hand them out along with the pictures and candy later this week. This is a way for you to directly express your love and support for God's little nation of Israel.
I hope you'll join in! I'd really love to get 100 comments on this post, so that we can really share some meaningful support, so please spread the word. I look forward to hearing from you!
"And I will bless them that bless thee..." Genesis 12:3
Happy Independence Day!!! Thank you so much for your courage in defending your Country. What a blessing it is to see a man take a stand for his Country. I pray the Lord will bless you for your service.
ReplyDeleteAs a veteran of the United States Army, I understand what it means to love and defend one's own country.
ReplyDeleteMay your hearts be filled with courage;
May your strength be found in the Lord Jehovah;
And may peace come to the land of Zion.
Happy Independence Day from your American friend,

ReplyDeleteMy husband had the opportunity to visit there a couple of years ago with some of the military. He enjoyed it so much. How wonderful to know there are those taking a stand for God's chosen land. I love Israel. I pray for the peace of Israel, and I love my Savior, the Messiah, Who came from Israel.

ReplyDeletePsalm 122:6: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
ReplyDeleteTo those in Israel who have given so much to secure that for which so many have suffered for so long, please know that you are appreciated in the United States. Seeing the apple of God's eye stand firm for what's right in a hate-filled world humbles me beyond description.
We are praying for your safety as you stand in the gap for God's Chosen People and His beloved Israel.
Happy Independence Day from those of us in America who love the nation of Israel! Thank you for serving your country. We admire and respect your military forces.
ReplyDeleteFrom America to Israel--Happy Independence Day! You are giving your time and energy for the sake of others--so that Israel can remain free. Congratulations!

A special shout out to all the IDF soldiers who keep this great nation safe!
ReplyDeleteI visited Israel with my son, David, four years ago. We made many precious memories together, but the one I will treasure forever is the visit we made to visit the IDF soldiers. The afternoon we spent with them served to touch my heart. They were so kind to me, and treated me like a mother. May God bless you, and keep you in His love and care as you serve Him and the nation of Israel.
