Just listen!!!<br /><br />Remember, the next WWG begins - TODAY! Please pray as Charlynn (Poet of Purpose) mentioned.

I recently talked with my dad about a similar topic on the phone, and I cried as he told me about just one of the things he had seen when he was in law enforcement. To think that he has to live with being a witness to such horrific things in this world that many of us never even think about! It is heart-breaking. But the Lord is indeed mighty to heal, and He can use us to reach out in comfort and understanding toward one another.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for stopping by! It's always good to hear from you, Amanda. :) <br /><br />And I am the one who has blessed by getting to meet all these people through the "Mondays for the Military" feature and God's providence. :D What a gift, and I'm so pleased I have the honor of introducing these people (like KC) to all of you!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-32233239081720190612010-10-26T20:23:28.846-06:002010-10-26T20:23:28.846-06:00Amber & KC, I am absolutely awestruck and spee...Amber & KC, I am absolutely awestruck and speechless by this amazing interview! Goodness, the tears just won’t end! I had to keep stopping to collect myself and grab more tissues! KC, it is a pleasure to meet you :) THANK YOU for what you and your husband do, and for all you’ve shared with us. Your words here, the testimonies, the sacrifices and prayer requests, have been so very powerful, inspiring, soul-stirring and humbling. <br /><br />I can’t even imagine what these incredible men and women have gone through, what they are going through now, and what they have yet to face down the road. It’s as if the battlefield follows them home. Only the sovereign grace, supernatural strength and perfect peace of Almighty God can carry a soul through such pain and uncertainty. Praise be to the Lord that can reach in past the external wounds and heal the ones deep within the heart and mind. And, He is using you and all of the other amazing volunteers to be His hands and feet! Your work reminds me of the lyrics to the song “Love Them Like Jesus” by: Casting Crowns<br /><br />“You’re holding their hand<br />You’re straining for words<br />You’re trying to make sense of it all<br />They're desperate for hope, darkness clouding their view<br />And they’re looking to you…<br /><br />Just love them like Jesus<br />Carry them to Him<br />His yoke is easy, His burden is light<br />You don’t need the answers to all of life’s questions<br />Just know that He loves them and stay by their side<br />Love them like Jesus” <br /><br />Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. KC, thank you again for all that you've shared with us here, and for letting us know how to pray for our courageous, selfless, heroic, wounded warriors and their precious families. I pray the Lord will bless you and all of the other volunteers richly and continue to use you all mightily in Jesus’ name :) <br /><br />Amber, thank you for another incredible post, my friend, and the opportunity to meet such incredible people!! <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Amanda StanleyAmanda Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372107574684016349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-26447219357128770722010-10-26T17:23:11.612-06:002010-10-26T17:23:11.612-06:00VINCE: Thank you so much for the compliment, and f...VINCE: Thank you so much for the compliment, and for e-mailing your sister-in-law for me!

What a great thing your sister-in-law does, and all those who help with that program! The WWII memorial is awe-inspiring and powerful to see, and I was blessed with the opportunity to see it this past summer. I can only imagine how it might effect those who were actually in WWII.<br /><br />Do you think your sister-in-law would be willing to talk about this on my blog?

I think KC and those who help her are heroines as well. <br /><br />Something that is also inspiring is the Honor Flights that take whole plane loads of WWII vets to see the WWII memorial in D.C. My sister-in-law is a Commander in the Navy and she has worked on several of these flights. She even did the flight that her father went on. <br /><br />The idea is to let these vets see the WWII memorial before they die. Many are in bad shape. Some do not even live long enough to take the flight. There seems to be last minute openings on every flight. <br /><br />These men and women are so proud to be remembered and yet I doubt that there is a one of them who will admit to being a hero. WWII hurt so badly that it took decades to build the WWII memorial. It’s just wonderful to see how much people still care. I think these Honor Flights are also reassuring to the vets now serving.<br /><br />Great post. Keep up the inspiring work.<br /><br />VinceVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707773426729777989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-60938638184164123942010-10-25T21:19:13.660-06:002010-10-25T21:19:13.660-06:00POET OF PURPOSE: The Wounded Warrior Getaway sound...POET OF PURPOSE: The Wounded Warrior Getaway sounds like an amazing program; it was an honor to be able to host KC so she could share about it! :)<br /><br />I'm so glad you like the "Mondays for the Military" feature.

KC is certainly an inspiration! <br /><br />You know, I confess that as the person conducting these interviews and putting these posts together, I think I sometimes take for granted what the interviews are actually saying and how amazing it all truly is (which you think would be the opposite way around).

It is so, so sweet, and such a beautiful picture of everyone's need for familial love. <br /><br />So glad you like the new page! (Did you notice the "Blog Awards" page inspired by you?
