Thanks to all the people who are sending messages to our military through Adopt a Platoon.
If you had any doubt that they are touching hearts, please read the following letter from
US Army Specialist Kevin Larson Jr
Hello, My name is SPC Kevin Larson. I am an active duty Army soldier deployed to the Middle East. I received a care package today from “Adopt a Platoon” and received this wonderful card and letter from Sue and the Ladies of Trinity United Methodist Church in Lead, SD. I want to start off by offering my sincerest gratitude for the heart warming letter and card! I haven’t received much mail since being deployed, so this was a humble surprise! I made it back to my barracks room this evening at hit my knees in prayer with tears in my eyes. I thought to myself, who else would have made this particular letter come to me versus the another one of the thousands of soldiers serving abroad? The only answer to this fate, is Jesus! You may think, well why is it such a surprise? I’ll tell you why. I, too, am a Black Hills of South Dakota resident born and raised. I am from Custer, SD. My mother still lives there, and my grandmother in Hot Springs. So, I knew from the moment that when I seen this letter was from “home”, that it was delivered not just by the USPS, but by the mighty hands of our God. Thank you all for making this soldiers day. I have been missing my wife and son, but receiving this letter from “home” reminded me that God is in control and will always surprise us when we least expect it. And to this I will cite 2 Corinthians 4:15 “All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.”
Love,
US Army Specialist Kevin Larson Jr
