Amen Maggie and Amen again.

Comment by maggie rees on Thursday

Yes Dana there has been a lot of tragedy going on in America recently and I have prayed for you all and for your country.

   Today I heard on the news that a young army soldier has been hacked to death on the streets of London.

  Apparently he was wearing a tee shirt with the logo support the troops on it., and he was attacked and hacked to death by some foreigners.    They think it was a terrorist attack against the troops.

     The evil seems to be never ending and all we can do is to pray and trust in God like Jeanne has said.

   God Bless America and Britain and God Bless all AMERICAN AND BRITISH TROOPS.

Gayle, I have noticed also that the last months have just been one nightmare after another in America's news.  It's heartbreak after heartbreak.  It's bad when you cry watching the news and it's not over politicians either (although there is plenty to cry over on that subject!).  God bless America - land that I love.

seems like we just got thru the Boston mess, now we are praying for the people of Oklahoma....what a tragedy this is...

Comment by P. Jeanne Haessler on Wednesday

I agree, I've prayed about everything I can think of, in regards to that and I'm leaving them in God's hands now. They're still in my thoughts and heart of course and I'll probably donate to the Red Cross to help out. Meanwhile, have any of you seen this? It's the most touching thing from the Oklahoma tornado site:

I know Maggie, I always connect it with the Titanic too, thanks to the movie.  There are some saying the band really did play that at the time.  Very poignant.

Jeanne that is so beautiful.   Thank you for sharing with us.

   I must say though  the hymn nearer my God to thee reminds me of the terrible Titanic disaster.

   Love to all and praying for you all today especially gayle.

A friend shared this very beautiful article with me. Don't know the fellow but had to include his name, this is brilliant.

Last night my oldest daughter, a junior in high school, attended her first prom. Her mother did her hair, her younger sister did her nails and she wore a beautiful dress made by the loving hands of her grandmother.

The entire ensemble was exquisite, but as she walked out the door with her handsome date for the evening, it was her shoes that made me nostalgic.

Shoes.

Oh my, how those shoes have changed since she was my little girl.

As an infant fresh from heaven, her spirit and body still becoming acquainted, we put white shoes on her pink feet long before she would take her first steps.

Shoes.

Later we dressed her in shiny black shoes befitting a princess at a ball. Once again, we put those on her innocent feet ages before she actually needed them.

She played dress up and stumbled around our tiny home in her mother's high heels. Like most kids, she even wore her first pair of tennis shoes years before she could have scored the winning goal or won the 100 meters. 

Shoes.

They represent the future. Potential. Dreams. Greatness.

Maybe we put our children in shoes of all kinds before they fully understand what they can accomplish while wearing them.

Perhaps that's what God does.

He gives us feet. He gives us hands. He gives us a heart before we grasp the amazing things we will do with them.

He prepares us. He tests us. He lets us stumble, fall and get back up.

He gives us shoes.

A year from now my daughter will pack up all her shoes and walk out the front door wearing her most comfortable pair. She'll glide into the world with shoes to dance, shoes to serve and shoes to worship Him in.

And maybe, if we're lucky, we will have prepared her to wear a pair of shoes that eventually carry her home for a long embrace.

Because maybe that's what God does.
