this is for you, a t hank you for the acorns and I am humbled by your gift
and thank you for your service to our country, the United States of America
for serving in the military .

We used to go visit the veterans nursing home also near Mobile Alabama
and met some nice older veterans

among those residing there was my
98 year old father in law who was in world war 2.

So many had no family to come see them

if they had a family as in local nursing
homes also...people just did not go visit them.

It made me uncomfortable and made me cry to go in the veterans home and the nursing homes because of the compassion I feel for others..

Jesus felt compassion for every human being...

It took time but I perservered and kept going and I was his hands and feet among
the humans, showing his love and compassion through me, the vessel he used


So thank you again for your service and for the acorns .

I could have sent this private but I felt someone might decide to visit an older
person or a nursing home if I wrote this for all to see ..

this is my father in law Jack ..who served in world war 2 and has now passed away
he was on a destroyer in the Navy during in the war...
Thanks
