It’s July, guys! This year is passing too quickly! Remember when you were a child and you thought Christmas would never come? Guess what? It is 5 months away!
July is “Back The Blue” month when we give thanks to our men and women in blue who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe.
When you see a policeman, State Trooper, Sheriff, or their deputies, and any law enforcement officer, take time to thank them for their service. Without them, we would have a land of chaos and not be safe!
Recently, one of my inherited grandsons left an ENT position to take a job with the Little Rock Police Department. My heart leaped, “Are you sure, son? That is a dangerous place to live, let alone to protect!”
As parents and grandparents, we want someone else’s child to take the dangerous jobs and place themselves at risk.
I remember when my friend Jaclyn started her training to be a Texas State Trooper, I was proud of her for all the training and hard work it took to achieve her goal. When I found out she would be defending our border, I took a step back and thought, ‘that is too dangerous, what are you thinking?’
But I’m glad she is there doing a good job keeping our border and us safe and secure. She is certainly capable! Check out FOX News, you may see her in action.
July 4th is also our nation’s birthday of Independence from the British. We will be 249 years old. As we celebrate this historic event, take a moment to give thanks for our nation of law and order. Americans have a lot to be thankful for. Be sure to thank a Veteran.
Cherish our freedoms and remember, those freedoms have been bought with a price, sometimes paid for by a life, and we are responsible for that freedom to those who preserve it every day!
To start with, we can pray for the safety of all our men and women in service, who protect not only our borders and laws but also our everyday lives. They deserve our respect and honor for giving so much for a thankless position.
So, if you see flashing red lights in your rearview mirror, pull over, smile, and thank the officer as he or she writes you a ticket for breaking our highway laws. The life they saved may be your own. Slow down and smell the roses!
Pray for God’s protection for our men and women in blue and our veterans, not just in July but all year!
Back The Blue
