People are just troubled!!!

I should reword that to some people are troubled!!! Anyhow I don't know if any of you have seen the news about "baby Grace" but it really troubled me. I made me think about the safety of my own children. It is absolutely horrible what happen to this beautiful baby girl. She was tortured and then killed by two freaks that called themselves parents. It also turns out that the baby was from Ohio and named Riley. When I saw the picture of this little precious girl it reminded me so much of my youngest daughter. I was enraged but realized that nothing could be done and that God would judge these people that caused this innocent little child such pain and greif. That at least gives me some peace knowing that God is a just God and he will take care of them in a way that is just and good. This poor child was only 2 years old and her life was taken from her. Some people are just troubled and need help. In this case they just need to die. They were fully aware of what they were doing (the killer parents) and they feel little remorse according to the news articles that I have read about it. I have faith in God that he will take care of them in his own way, it is the earthly justice system that I am nervous about. If you have children especially young ones give them a big hug and kiss and let them know that you love them, especially when they need you to love them. Remember how you feel when you hug and kiss them at this moment. Remember that when they are misbehaving and you feel like you are about to lose it. Just love these little, precious souls and prey for their safety!!!

"Eternal Prospective Brother"

The title to this post is a direct quote from one of my close friends and fellow church goer. Let me explain. Yesterday at church my oldest daughter was throwing a fit about something or the other and I was getting very frusturated. As we continued to struggle with each other (my daughter and I) I heard from my friend "Eternal Prospective Brother" and it made me stop and think. Is the behavior that I was exhibiting really important in the eternal prospective of things? The answer was absolutely I was exhibiting very un-Christ like behavior and later apologized to my daughter about the way I behaved (and consequently repented also) As I left church I thanked my friend for reminding me of "eternal prospective" and he replied that we all need reminders from time to time. So at any rate it got me to thinking and I realized that a lot of the behaviors that I have are not eternal in prospective and I decided to make a conscience effort to be more Christlike in my behavior. So whenever you feel like your behavior is going in an uneternal prospective PLEASE remember the quote from my friend "Eternal Prospective Brother" and let it impact your heart and soul like it did mine. Have a great day!
