Today I pulled up behind the proud mother of a United States Marine. You could tell by the bumper stickers and decals. I wanted to jump out, run up to her and thank her for his service. I also did not want to be arrested.
So instead I spent a little time in prayer for her son. I offered the standard prayer for safety but I am aware that safety is not the environment that soldiers and marines are called to. I added a prayer that I usually pray for those in uniform: That God would keep them from doing anything in the heat of the moment that they will be ashamed of later. People fighting to keep us safe cannot always be safe, but they can be proud of their service.
May God make it so in this young mans life.
