Receiving Great Pleasure?
Every day is a new day – and is a “GIFT” to share – so, with the right attitude – and opening our eyes – do we see what needs to be done – or do we wait – until someone has to ask us – to give a helping hand? Look – so that you can see – really see and understand what you are looking at – and see – if you do this – will a good result – occur? By just doing something to make the present situation better – how do you feel – is it a good feeling – do you feel like doing more?
The opportunities are all around us at this time of the year. Situations that show up – right under our nose – are just begging us – seize this opportunity to make someone’s “LIFE” just a little better – then stand back and see if you could have – had done just a little bit more – Like my husband used to say – “It only costs 10% more to go “First Class!” Helping someone to feel better at this time of the year – making them really feel like they are “First Class” now – guess what – “You will feel like a million!” You will be walking on a “CLOUD NINE” – you will begin to feel so good – you will find that all your aches and pains – have gotten up and left – “You will fall asleep so fast at night for all the extra good” – you will find that there are all kinds of good things for you to be doing – “YOU will feel – at least 10 years younger!”
Your “PLEASURE” comes to you when – you find that what you are doing for those who no longer have the ability to do for themselves – the time comes for all of us – sooner or later – but the “PLEASURE” you receive – will give you such a “HIGH on LIFE” – that – the something you can do for someone – really hits the “TOP DRAWER SOT” – for – like nothing else ever – before!
“Blessings” come for the doer of “GOOD DEEDS” now – at this time of year – because the situations that are before us – show up more at this time of year! My daily “PRAYER” is for those who are able to do these wonderful “GIFTS” – offers to do “GOOD” for another – will also receive such wonderful “BLESSINGS” – you will find “peace” in your LIFE – over and above anything – you have ever experienced!

There is a Love … that …
Surpasses; Greater “LOVE” has no man … Lay down his “LIFE” … for his fellow “FRIENDS” and that would be our “VETERANS!” (See John: 15:13)
When you are in the “Service for your Country” – during the basic training and later wherever you are sent – the men and women in your immediate group – soon become your family. You know that you have to be able to trust you “buddies” – and more than that – that your “buddies” are also depending on you – to always be watching their back-side! There just is no other way – you are a united unit – your “LIFE” depends on the immediate “HELP” that you will receive – when the need arises – and it will!
During WWI and WWII – so many “Soldiers” made a “CHOICE” hardly without thinking – that for the greater good of so many “SOLDIERS” in their “UNIT” – these “HEROES” took the brunt of the enemy fire – to save the “LIVES” of their “BUDDIES”. Several of these “HEROES” – had saved so many “LIVES” during War Time Battles – that to do honor for these men of “VALOUR” – and give HONOR to them and their families – movies have been made of their “LIFE” and everything that they had done – leading up to the ultimate moment – when they ended up – in giving their one LIFE – to save so many – their family buddies – who would have done the same – had the circumstance – been reversed!
In November – Never forget that without our constant “PRAYERS” for our “VETERANS” – there is the chance that we all will perish.
In November – Thanks given daily and as often as possible – keeps the Almighty Yahweh listening to our highly – emotional – pleads – for protection and His special care – for our wonderful “VETERANS” – who give so much and ask for so little in return.
In November – “THANKSGIVING DAY” – should be to each of us – each and every day – special time to remember all those who do so much – and so seldom receive – even a little smile of “THANKS” for all they do!

“My Neighbor’s Favorite Veteran”
My neighbor, “Jackie Janssen” picked the above photo of my son, “LEE ALDRICH, Jr. – out of six (6) choices as the best! Jackie said, “This photo reminds me of my favorite movie star, “Errol Flynn” – I didn’t realize that “LEE” was so good looking!” – Naturally, I was tickled “PINK” to know that – my neighbor Jackie and I both thought Errol Flynn was our favorite and that she thought so highly of of son, Lee!
In my “book” all parents think that their children are the best looking and then – when they are in the service of their “Country” – that your children in uniform look good – and are doing their part – so that their “Family” and all the neighbors – know that – they are doing what is right for all “Americans” – and that is to protect our “Freedoms” – and help all of us realize that we all must work together – so we can continue to enjoy our “PROSPERITY!”

Veteran – No. Africa – Desert War
—
Still remembering “Veterans” in our “FAMILY” – This photo of Al E. Aldrich – who spent time in the “African Conflict” – time frame – 1941-1943
Seems that – just as our young children – reach the ages of 20-25 – a new “WAR” is boiling “HOT” – and calling for the lives of our young people! Check it out – we no sooner think – that this is the “WAR” to end all “WARS” when the “GREEN EYE MONSTER” is going to take from our families – their “FIRST” born – again and again!
“Al ” is one of seven (7) brothers – all had to do their part in the “SERVICE” – except one – that would be my husband “Lee” – who was already on the “POLICE FORCE” in Saint Louis. I guess that the world would have to be coming to an end – before taking the “POLICE” Officers – from where they were serving – unless someone wanted complete “CHAOS.”
Someone – who ever is running the show – wants all Law and Order – to be thrown out – why else throw out the “TEN COMMANDMENTS” – from the schools? With no rules and regulations – anyone can do as they feel – and that is why we are always at war with everyone – including our own neighbors?
We do need to start repenting and praying for better leadership – and I feel the one book that should be put in each child’s hand is the Bible – time to learn that – Laws broken – have tough consequences!

Must Include “OLDER” Veterans!
When you are giving “HONOR” to our “VETERANS” – one must never forget those who served in the “PHILIPPINE ARMY” and with one our best Generals!
The above picture of Denny “MAC” McClarren – my father – was serving in the Philippines – under Gen. Douglas MacArthur – during the 1930’s While my Father was on a motorcycle – taking messages around – his motorcycle was blown up – the damage to my Father’s back – put him in a “body cast” for over six (6) months. A back injury is one of the worst – – – it just seems to be killing you – with your every move – and now that I’m thinking about it – the “PAIN” never really leaves – just the slightest of moves – the wrong way – and you think you are losing your mind!
The above photo – was in one of my Father’s wallets – and after he had died – I went through a lot of my Father’s things – and this “PHOTO” was one photo – that I had never seen? I only wish he would have said something about having the photo refinished and restored – so that it would not now be in such a fragile condition? I guess that when we stop using old wallets and old purses – whatever cards and picture are in there stay – forever?
Lets not let our senior “VETERANS” be forgotten – let us remember to check on them and gather more of their stories – of all the things that they did and ask – what should be written up – for the next generations – so that they will receive “HONOR ” and Remembrance” – forever! Almighty Yahweh bless all those that take the time to serve their “COUNTRY” – those that honor the call to help keep the “FREEDOMS” and “PROSPERITY” for all citizens – first and foremost!
