Sick or Distressed Brothers and Sisters


A Poem for our sick or distressed

We said a prayer for you today and know God must’ve heard, 
We felt the answer in our hearts although He spoke no words.
We didn’t ask for wealth or fame, We knew you wouldn’t mind.
We asked him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind.
We asked that he be near you at the start of each new day.
To grant you health & blessings and friends to share your way.
We asked for happiness for you, In all things great and small.
But it was for His loving care, we asked the most of all!
-author unknown- 

Please remember our fellow LEGIONNAIRES and their families 
in your thoughts and prayers.
