I met  Ralph this morning at the supermarket. What a blessing to meet 99-year-old Ralph Windorf, he served our Country in WW II. Ralph will be 100 in April! He still drives! He was so touched by me thanking him and taking time to talk to him about himself and our Country. We shook hands more than once! Ralph made my year, so very joyful!!!

Ralph is all about what made this Country so great! He loves America and all people, that is why he risked his life!!! What have we done to this great Country?

The WW II Generation is our greatest generation ever according to many historians! I believe so also! I asked Ralph, I wonder what the historians are going to say about this current generation? We both agreed sadly, that this is a very, very sad time in our history. So much division, so much hate. Politics is God with many, we both agreed that America needs to turn back to God. Ralph is very thankful this Thanksgiving, not for only still living, but he came back from WW II “in one piece” as he put it.

God Bless you Ralph! We love you! Thank you for your service!

I was asked this week, “Dewey what is your mission statement at FGGAM?” It is doing the work that the Lord assigns me, it is not of me, but of what God says to do each day, that is my life mission, to please God not man.

“But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.” -Acts 20:24

My dad, Wally Moede served in WW II in the Marines, he was a Sgt.

We must reflect on the fact that the greatest generation ever in America is passing away  very fast. The WWII generation represents what America was to be. Think and pray about it. We are failing to uphold their Godly standards, we actually have betrayed them. Can we return to such greatness?

Greatest Generation

The Greatest Generation Speaks

Do all the good you can,

by all the means you can,

in all the ways you can,

in all the places you can,

at all the times you can,

to all the people you can,

as long as ever you can.

John Wesley

My prayer for you today is that you will take time to pray and reflect on what you are doing with your life to make the world a better place. What is your calling from God?

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
 
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
John 13:34-35
