1944 Echoes
Today it is difficult to look at the water's edge and not think of
what took place on five landing beaches 70 years ago. The Allied
invasion of Normandy became a great time of prayer.
President Roosevelt lead the nation with words of faith and hope.
". . . Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation,
this day have set upon a mighty endeavor . . .
to set free a suffering humanity."
If you take time to read the entire prayer you will be inspired and
grateful to those soldiers, sailors and airmen of the Allied Forces.
A different body of water, but still an ocean, inspired Robert Frost
and it seems a fitting day to invite the reading of "Once By The Pacific."
"Great waves looked over others coming in
And thought of doing something to the shore. . . "
Do you find that prayer and poetry often hold hands?
