I made a comment to a friend that the more I see God being removed from our everyday lives they more cruel and ugly people's comment and actions become. I pray everyday for people rethink the way they speak to and about others. To put God back into their lives and to support our leaders. <br />Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897679144091326993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-8827783325581253142017-03-18T16:55:56.690-07:002017-03-18T16:55:56.690-07:00Wonderful post.

He knows what he wants to say but can't. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. My heart goes out to you, knowing the losses you have suffered.

What is shocking is they go one step further and not only wish he would suffer this kind of pain, but even celebrities and well known people stage mock assasinations, and other heinous acts thinking it is funny, when it is downright sick and bordering on treason and sedition. I am beginning to wonder about people's mental stability in their ability to just disagree and wait for the next election. To become a society where it has become ok to wish suffering of this magnitude, I myself don't hold out much hope for our moral compass. It speaks alot about a person when they will say these things. I have witnessed a person going through massive heart attacks and much worse, it is not a pretty sight. I honestly pray for these people and hope they find some peace and sanity and most of all forgiveness. People blame the President for being hateful when actually I believe they are the ones stoking the hate against him. It would be nice if they would give him as much of a chance to succeed as they did President Obama.

The moral failing of a leader is a sad thing to behold. It is not, however, an excuse to be so unrelenting in one's scorn. In my personal effort to live a life more pleasing to the Lord, I am completely aware of my failings and frailties as a human being. It helps me to not pull the trigger so quickly on someone else's shortcomings. One thing I notice is the "author" of this social malaise is NOT of God. Our neighbors are being stirred up by those who do not care about anyone but their own selfish ambitions. I caution us to first pray for our country and our leaders. Pray for wisdom and discernment. They need it and we need it. Thank you Susan, for giving us a forum to share our feeling in a healthy manner. I am so completely sorry you had to experience your parents heartache. But the experience forged a lovely person with much kindness. Again, thank you.

My Mom had a heart attack when she was 63, several heart surgeries and at 68 she had a major stroke. She regained her physical self back but from that day my Mom was not able to speak. Oh she could say "how do you do" and very little else. Our names took her months to relearn. I watch the horror in her of how she could no longer speak, no longer share her emotions of joy or pain. I watch her whittle away when 5 years later she died a slow death from uterine cancer. There is non greater pain to watch someone you love died and each day there was a little less of them until their pain was finally gone and they were set free.

As a Christian, we are instructed to honor the position the person holds. I am so tired of those who were against the President mouthing off. Heaven knows I didn't sceam, rant or picket when Obama got into office. I wish people would just get on with life-they are acting like a bunch of teens or college students. Sorry-couldn't help myself. We all need to join together to pray for our country. <br />Hugs,<br />NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-70337457841323033902017-03-16T14:47:54.859-07:002017-03-16T14:47:54.859-07:00Cindy, my apologies to you.Cindy, my apologies to you.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08941775685315145338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-56357724360116201562017-03-16T14:36:32.666-07:002017-03-16T14:36:32.666-07:00Best blog post I have read all week or MORE.

There is no way to reconcile the bitter words expressed when you know how devastating such an experience can be. I agree that the situation is dire, probably more than most people realize. To disagree with someone is not unusual, however, the behavior we have witnessed on the news, on line and in person, is beyond mere disagreement. There is a serious element of instability involved and those who choose to behave this way are revealing much more about themselves than they expect. That said, I have sympathy for anyone dealing with a serious illness or injury. The rabid people who cannot see beyond their own inappropriate behavior will soon discover, as we all do, that they are not special, they will get sick one day, they will watch someone they love suffer and die and no matter how many pink hats they have, they will not be protected from the consequences of their own making. Perhaps they will reconsider how their behavior has contributed to the outcome that they so strongly despise.
