As many people start to deal with a tragedy, anger and frustration emerge. Last few days I have seen a lot of this on facebook. Last night a friend posted her beliefs on the fact that the weapons used in the CT shooting should be regulated. A friend of hers went off on her post regarding this topic and down right almost making a joke about the fact that people want to regulate guns. I would like to say I stayed quiet, I tried until the person kept going back at my friend. I have NEVER been a fan of guns of any kind. My son was in the fourth grade before I even allowed him to get a nerf gun, water gun or any other type of toy guns. I do not believe that anyone needs the guns that were used and I feel pretty strongly that we need to have stricter guidelines. I believe that the men and women who fight every day to give us the FREEDOMS that we quote so easily do not feel they should be giving up their lives so that every day civilians have the arsenal that the young man used.
Anyway, I am telling you this for one specific reason..... after I was heated up and finally did post.... A post appeared and reminded me of what we should be thinking of right now.... My HS friend, gave permission to post this stating this is something we should be sharing... I could NOT agree more...
This is a conversation between Lina and I last night after the news....
LINA: Mommy, did that guy really kill all those kids?
ME: Yes honey, It's very sad. (Tearing up)
LINA: Mommy, all those kids went to live in heaven with Jesus, right?
ME: Of course honey.
LINA: Well, Mommy, Think of how happy Jesus is going to be to have all those new friends at his birthday party on Christmas!!
Her daughter is FOUR. May we all stop and remember that those who were lost will be rejoicing with Jesus in one week. Thank you Jesus for Lina!
Amen
