A Cup of Joe for the Troops

56

By Godslittlechild

I am always looking to see what kind of things that are going on for our soldiers.  My stepson is in Irag and has been there since August under blackout conditions and we've only had one brief message from him.  I know there are other families experiencing the same thing and the worry is tremendous.  We pray, we send letters and packages and wait.  While I wait I look for things that are happening in their behalf.  Here's one of those.  ( I'm a coffee fanatic so this is favorite of mine).

Green Beans Coffee has a really nice idea going for our folks in the military. You can go to their website via this link www.greenbeanscoffee.com/coj/index.php. Follow the directions on the sight and they will send a cup of coffee with your personal greetings to one of our soldiers in the field.

Remember how much they do to keep us safe and keep our country free. Send them a little comfort and tet them know we care with a cup of coffee, a note and add a prayer.

I read this and went right to the site and sent out a cup o' joe with a message. Then I came back here to push the green button and leave you a note. Thank you for writing about this and letting everyone know. May I also share this with others? I hope and pray your stepson arrives home safe and sound very soon and is able to stay home.

You should be very proud of your stepson and rightly so. I'll send the cup of java and prayer or two for our troops. Thanks for sharing.
