Soldiers Name: PFC Matt Maupin

Message: Dear Carolyn: You are in my thoughts and prayers on this Mothers' Day. Please be strong, and know there is a multitude of believers petitioning God through our humble prayers to bring Matt through this, and into your waiting arms again. Please remember, not only are God's Hands upon Matt, His angels are protecting him and comforting him as well. "The angels...regard our safety, undertake our defense, direct our ways and exercise a constant solicitude that no evil befalls us." (John Calvin) "The very presence of an angel is a communication. Even when an angel crosses our path in silence, God has said to us, 'I am here. I am present in your life.'" (Tobias Palmer) There is a song entitled "Angels" that in part states, "We're lifted up by angels. Given wings to fly. Leave the night behind us. Trust the light to find us, even as we rise. We're lifted up by angels. Close enough to Heaven. Far above the rain. Darkness cannot reach us. Let the angels teach us, only Love remains. We're lifted up by angels." My gift to you this Mothers' Day, and to all mothers whose children are in harm's way today, is this song. It's a lovely, inspirational song that makes me tear up every time I hear it. I found a website that plays the song, and lists the words on its homepage (www.angelizdsplace.com/home.htm). The woman who runs this website exemplifies the verse, "Be joyful in hope, patient in tribulation, faithful in prayer." (Romans 12:12) Again, I dedicate this song to you and your family; mothers everywhere who cannot hold their sons or daughters in their arms today; and, especially, to Matt. "See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way..." (Exodus 23:20) "But if these beings guard you, they do so because they have been summoned by prayers." (Saint Ambrose). - Don't be afraid of tomorrow, for God is already there.

Soldiers Name: PFC Matt Maupin

Message:

Dear Carolyn: I am reminded on this Armed Forces Day that we must continue to be vigilant in lifting up in prayer every Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, and Coastguardman serving our country, asking God to grant each of them the wisdom, courage, strength of body, and peace of mind they need to carry them through every situation they may face.

In addition, we must continue to ask God to grant Matt a spirit of determination to persevere. "I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me." (Philippians 4:13)

God bless and protect our Troops, and may they know in their hearts that they are loved.

And, God bless and comfort you, Carolyn, your whole family, and, especially, Matt.

"Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be brave, be strong." (1 Corinthians 16:13)

I believe, and I know you do, that Matt knows that God is with him, protecting him from all harm. And, he knows that his family, his friends, and his community are praying for him. What he may not know is that there are also people he doesn't know who are "praying him through" as well.
