Father, Forgive Us..........

Its been a while since Ive posted on here. Been so busy with the day to day of life. But I had to put a few things "on paper", if you will. I was at work when I heard the news about the evil that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School today. I had to take a few minutes to myself to reflect on what I had heard, say a prayer for those poor babies and their families, and thank God that my 2 beautiful girls were ok. I thought about the last time I saw my girls..... I rushed out the door for work this morning, quickly hugging them and telling them I had to run because I was going to be late for work. I nearly broke down as I thought, "What if that was the last time I saw my girls?" My heart was instantly broken. It is such a sad sad and sickening day for us as Americans. I pray for the families of these poor children. An evil monster, taking out whatever his problems are, on the only truly innocent members of the human race, children. Makes me absolutely sick. And to top it off, many people are using this to talk politics and gun control. When are people going to realize, that no matter how hard we try, WE ARE NOT IN CONTROL!!!!! We push God aside, push Him out of our schools, dont want to "offend" anyone. I'll never understand why we as Christians, lay down and allow people to dictate to us when and where we can worship God. We push God out of our government, out of our schools, out of our work place, because "He doesnt belong their", and "We need to separate these things", yet we ask Him, "Where was He?" when bad things happen, or when things dont happen the way we planned, or we dont like how "Our Plans" are playing out. Me personally, I just pray that God doesnt turn His back on our nation they we have turned ours on Him!! I hope and pray that the families of these victims know of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I dont see how its possible for a person to deal with something this tragic, without knowing of His love and promise to us. I also KNOW that no person who knows Jesus Christ, and lives with Him in their hearts, could unleash this kind of Evil on another human being. I challenge every single one of you, for the sake of you, me, our children, and our nation, tell everyone you know about Jesus. Share His love, share His story. Get Him down off the shelf youve been keeping Him on while you live your lives, and start carrying Him on your shoulder, for everyone to see! Stop hiding Him, because you are afraid of offending someone! We HAVE to share the Gospel, get more people living and striving to walk the path that Jesus Christ layed for us. We have got to stop trying to control everything. Their arent enough laws of men, warning labels, safeties, shields, and bubble wrap to keep us safe from each other! We must submit to the Almighty God, and start living His plan! TELL SOMEONE ABOUT JESUS! INVITE THEM TO CHURCH, AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER!!! And pray. Pray pray pray. When youre done praying, pray some more. Get in your Bible. It is the Word of God, it is His breath. The answers to ALL your questions are in there!
     Grab your children. Hold them tight. Pray for them. And ask yourself, "Am I doing everything I can to make sure that I have helped do my part to fill the world with as many followers of Christ as I can, to surround my children as they grow up in this cruel world?" This is OUR responsibility. Again, I pray for the victims, the victims families, my friends and family, and our country. "Father, forgive us."
