My thoughts on Terry Schiavo & "Christians"
I live about 20 minutes from the Hospice and went 2 Sunday's ago to pray for her. I stood outside the Hospice away from all the other "Christians" and prayed to the Lord silently and peacefully. As I walked past all the protesters to walk to my quiet place I noticed the signs all the "Christians" were holding...some reading "Michael your a barbarian", "Gov. Jeb Bush do something", others were yelling at the other side (the people on the side of Micael Schiavo), while others were milling around with there VERY SMALL children. I stood in my quiet place and prayed to the King of Kings and asked for Him to give Terry a peace which surpasses all understanding and prayed for her husband & parents to have that same peace. I prayed for healing and restoration of Terry, her family and her husband. I cried and prayed for Love to abound from Heaven. And then I left. No words to anyone...just left.
As I was walking back to my car I had to stop and apologize to a man that had earlier come up to me because I felt rude for curtly telling him no I did not want a flyer as I was deep in prayer and just felt rude....He began talking to me....not for me to hear what he had to say but for HIM to hear what he had to say!....God is really teaching me some things here.
I have needed to have an outlet for all my feelings on this matter for some time now and I thought "I have a Blog, what better place to write all this down!"lol
I watch the news with parents bringing there 10 year olds to witness a scene even grown adults have a hard time dealing with, I watch as parent's allow their YOUNG children to become part of this situation and be arrested. I am watching all this and have to pray every time because I get angry!!!! Have we forgotten what it is to BE Christian??? Have we forgotton what it means to be a parent???? Part of me wants to go down there with my own sign and it would say "I'm a Christian and you all are embarrassing me!" No wonder we get such a bad rap!!!
Lay down the signs, Lay down the anger, Lay down the reteric, grab each others hands, get on your knees and Pray to the only One who trumps government and politics.....Pray to the God who through Love gave His Son because HE is the ONLY ONE who can give what all Christians & people in her family want and thats for her to be well, healthy and HEALED! Those signs do nothing but give the enemy more to work with!
Parents....remember what it is to be 10! Its a time for baseball and dolls and just being a kid...yes I know they want to give her water...we ALL do, but why not sit them down, talk to them and tell them yes I understand I do too but we can't... but we CAN pray for her to be healed, we can pray for her to be at peace, we can pray for her family & husband....because GOD is the One who can work a miracle!!!!!!! Not government, not Judges, not signs, but The presence of the Prince of Peace!
God Bless the Schiavo family, the Shindler family and may Jesus show up and make Himself real to them and most of all God Bless Terry!!!
