I pledge allegiance...

This morning was a very special morning at Grace's school. I mentioned {here} about one of Grace's little classmates whose dad is in the military, currently stationed overseas.Paityn's dad is in Afghanistan, serving the last 3 weeks of his 6-month deployment. He is scheduled to come home December 28. We are all anxiously awaiting his safe return.Grace's class has sent several care packages to Paityn's dad while he's been overseas. He always sends the most uplifting notes back to the kids, telling them how much the cards, pictures, snacks, and prayers mean to him, teaching them about freedom and being good citizens, and telling them he can't wait to visit the class - Bryan's Bears - when he comes home. He also sent a very important package last time...Paityn's dad flew an American flag for one week over where he is stationed in Afghanistan in honor of Bryan's Bears. He sent the flag to Mrs. Bryan and today, Grace's school had a ceremony and flew the flag in honor of Paityn's dad!I would love it if you would join me in praying over Paityn's dad...for safety during these last 3 weeks of his deployment, for a safe return to his family, and for all the troops still overseas.Thank you!
