Wives of Faith in Uniform: Meet Adelaida

Tweet

What an honor it was for me to interview some special Wives of Faith—wives in uniform! So often, we talk about the issues military wives face as we stand beside our husbands in uniform that we sometimes forget the amazing women who serve alongside our husbands. They are incredible, strong-willed ladies who make major sacrifices, too. This week, Wives of Faith would like to honor them by profiling a few wives in uniform. I hope that you will enjoy reading about their lives a Christian wives in the military. These women provide some excellent insight on what it’s like to be a female servicemember and how they can be better supported by civilian military wives.

The last profile of the series features Adelaida M., a wife currently serving active duty in the Air Force. She shares a heartfelt story of surrender and God’s power to heal.

How Do We Respond?

truthinlove

“Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” ~Ephesians 4:15

“Using the US flag as a tablecloth!? I’d love to know what halfwit anti-American came up with that.”
“Whoever came up with this harebrained idea is just plain stupid.”
“Are you really that ignorant?”
“You have created an outrage with the military community . . .”
“You should be ashamed of yourself.”
“Your upbringing should have exposed you to more flag ceremonies than the average citizen, so your plea of ignorance is futile.”
“…if I ever get the chance to meet you, I will certainly give you additional decorating tips you will never forget, to include places where the sun don’t shine. . . . Idiots like this need to be taught a lesson.”

These are just a few of the comments I’ve seen on Facebook over the past 24 hours, in response to the misguided (and now removed from the website) HGTV article and photo utilizing an actual American flag as a tablecloth.

Vitriolic, caustic, harsh, and just plain mean. Words that hurt and wound, rather than heal and redeem.

Those who take an anti-social media stance would likely remark that something like this is par for the course for a generation taking to electronic bullying, posting without researching, and typing without thinking things through.

But for those of us who follow Jesus, this type of behavior is just not right.

HGTV’s Mistake is Our Chance to Educate

Tweet

Chances are, if you’ve been on your Facebook page any in the last 24 hours, you may have seen this picture run across your newsfeed. See anything wrong with this?

HGTV Holiday Mistake

If you do, you’re not alone. This was part of an HGTV design gallery highlighting “Classic Fourth of July Table Settings” and this one in particular was suggested as an “unconventional table linen” and included the following description:

Drape a large American flag over the table as a bright and festive table runner. Use a nylon flag so spills can be easily wiped off and the flag can later be hung with pride on a flag pole.

There’s probably a good reason the designer called it “unconventional” – most people would agree that it’s disrespectful. And, when you get right down to it, this photo breaks several points of law according to our United States Flag Code. (Continue Reading)
