What I have didn’t cost me anything and was no gamble! What I have was offered freely and paid in full by someone else. What I have can never be taken away from me by others! What I have is available to everyone, but so many deny it or just turn away. You see, what I have is eternal life and peace! What I have will last forever and never tarnish or decay! What I have will be with me wherever I go and carries the promise that God will always protect me! All the jackpots in the whole world can’t buy that – - – it’s free for the taking and you can have it too!

Tremendous thanks for all of our military personnel, our veterans and all their families. They are the ones that bought our freedom and keep us free. America is the Home of the Free because of the Brave!

“God and the firemen” is the people’s cry;
But when ’tis out and all things righted,
God is forgotten and the firemen slighted.


~Author unknown, from The Fireman’s Journal, 18 Oct 1879

I can teach you things, but I cannot make you learn.
I can give you directions, but I cannot be there to lead you.
I can allow you freedom, but I cannot account for it.
I can take you to church, but I cannot make you believe.
I can teach you right from wrong, but I cannot always decide for you.
I can buy you beautiful clothes, but I cannot make you beautiful inside.
I can offer you advice, but I cannot accept it for you.
I can give you love, but I cannot force it upon you.
I can teach you to share, but I cannot make you unselfish.
I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to show honor.
I can advise you about friends, but cannot choose them for you.
I can advise you about sex, but I cannot keep you pure.
I can tell you the facts of life, but I can’t build your reputation.
I can tell you about drink, but I can’t say “no” for you.
I can warn you about drugs, but I can’t prevent you from using them.
I can tell you about lofty goals, but I can’t achieve them for you.
I can teach you about kindness, but I can’t force you to be gracious.
I can warn you about sins, but I cannot make you moral.
I can love you as a child, but I cannot place you in God’s family.
I can pray for you, but I cannot make you walk with God.
I can teach you about Jesus, but I cannot make Jesus your Lord.
I can tell you how to live, but I cannot give you eternal life.
I can love you with unconditional love all of my life…and I will! ]]> http://www.heritage-fire.com/reflection-of-a-mother-unknown/feed 0 Firefighter http://www.heritage-fire.com/firefighter http://www.heritage-fire.com/firefighter#comments Sat, 11 May 2013 12:03:32 +0000 Dennis Rutledge http://www.heritage-fire.com/?p=407 something you are
