Brits to Go Free

I don't understand much about politics and war, but I know that it breaks my heart to see what soldiers often endure. When the news broke on March 23rd that 15 British soldiers were captured by Iran, I sat in front of my TV heavy hearted. I have thought about them every day and have wondered (worried) about their circumstances and their frightened families. So many of the small things in life, that I often take for granted, reminded me of them. When I would sit down to eat a meal, I stared at my plate of warm food - I could eat as much as I wanted and whatever I wanted - and I wondered how often they were being fed. At night I would lay down in my bed, pull my comforter up to my chin and think about Faye Turney (the female captive close to my age). What was she sleeping on? Was she missing her family? Was she scared? I am so thankful for what God has given me, and I always want those blessings to remind me to pray for those who are suffering. It is a shame when soldiers are forgotten by those for whom they fight. Please pray for them. Praise the Lord for the news of the release of the British hostages...it will be a special Easter holiday for their families and country.
