I know there seems to be so many troops in Iraq right now, but there are so many more of us. I can only imagine how great they must feel to get some sense of home in a package. We take for granted things like M&M's, Starbursts, soft toilet paper and magazines. These things are a temporary luxury that will brighten a day for our beloved troops.
This last day many (if not all) of the 40 Day Bloggers will be joining Toby, remembering what we've read and realizing how we've been changed this summer. Please take time to scoot over to Kat's post today where she has included a video set to a beautiful song called Pray by Kendall Payne...
I will pray for you now, for you have been my faithful friends
While the road we walk is difficult indeed
I couldn't not ask for more than what you've already been
Only that you would say these prayers for me
May your heart break enough that compassion enters in
May your strength all be spent upon the weak
All the castles and crowns you build and place upon your head
May they all fall, come crashing down around your feet
May you find every step to be harder than the last
So your character grows greater every stride
May your company be of human insignificance
May your weakness be your only source of pride
What you do unto others may it all be done to you
May you meet the One who made us
And see Him smile when life is through
May your blessings be many but not what you hoped they'd be
And when you look upon the broken
May mercy show you what you could not see
May you never be sure of any plans you desire
But you'd learn to trust the plan He has for you
May your passions be tried and tested in the holy fire
May you fight with all your life for what is true
I have prayed for you now all my dear and faithful friends
But what I wish is more than I could ever speak
As the way wanders on I'll long to see you once again
Until then, would you pray these prayers for me?
Oh, that you would pray for me

Just the right words. Has it really been 40 days?
