Thank-you Ivonne

My heart is not as heavy as it was yesterday for these poor babies, but my thoughts have not left them either. Because of this terrible event that has happened, it has forced me to get on bended knee and ask God to forgive me of my sins. I always ask, but this time I asked in the most sincerest heart I own.

My eyes water as I even think about how terrible of a sinner I am. I am so very thankful for a loving God who forgives me for every one of my sins. For a father who loves me no matter what mistakes I make.

Today, I want us all to continue to pray for the families and friends of Newtown. Let us pray for every lost soul and as I was reading a blog from my dear friend Ivonne I wept. It is not because we do not have God in schools, it is because we do not have God in our hearts.

Thank- you Ivonne for showing me that in what I may be saying the real fact is God needs to be in our hearts first, then put him back in schools.

For any of you who do not know or recognize the song I have placed, please listen. For the others who are familiar, please pray as you hear the words to the song I chose for today.

FWF Free Write Friday; Word Bank

bewitched – agony – awe – dismay – jaded – enamored – sacred – nirvana – fury

These are the words I am to use this Friday as I write for Kellie.

I am still in awe as I am sitting here with a broken heart. It feels like someone has just stabbed me with an arrow. The agony that the parents must be going through right this very moment is breaking me up.

To my dismay I have recently learned that another shooting was done in a school. This time it is an elementary school. Such young sacred children. So innocent in this cruel world. The fury rises in me higher than the tallest mountain! What are these people thinking? What right do they have to take another human life? Is their minds so jaded by their own past? Does this mean that we should excuse these animals for the crime they have committed because of the life they have lived?

I wish I was Bewitched and could erase the time. Take it away. Go back to earlier hours. Let us become enamored and reach out and pray for the school, the families and friends. Let us stop and take a moment to put ourselves in these people’s hearts.

A lot of times there is no funeral paid for in advance for a young child. Wouldn’t it be nice if a free concert given by Nirvana could be arranged? All donations could be given to a fund to help pay for counselling  and funeral expenses.

I always say I am surprised at nothing that happens in our world today. This is a sad remark because this tells us that we have become common grounds for murders, rapes and theft.

I pray that God be with all of these people involved. I pray for healing. I pray for comfort to be brought to all living in this area.

Tragic School Shooting

I have just heard the terrible,  heartbreaking news about the school children in Connecticut. I just want everyone who is family and friends that my heart and prayers are with you. The tragedies that are happening in our world today, still amaze me. I want each of us to pray for this community. We need God back in our schools, back in our lives desperately.

Oh Lord take these innocent children up into your arms. Comfort them Lord. Let them know that you love them. Father, be with the family, school, and friends. Wrap your comfort around them. I love you Jesus. I do not understand why this has been allowed to happen. You are the only one who knows the reason. We need you Lord. We need  you more and more as the world around us crumbles. Help me to spread your name to each one I meet.

Amen.
