We NEED a Savior, Thursday, December 24, 2015

Wow!  What a stormy day. This sure puts into clear perspective what is important...

My heart goes out to the man/woman killed Southwest of here in Tennessee and others lost in the storms in other areas...somehow, I pray their families will be comforted and that someone will be sent to stand in the gap.

Another family is preparing a funeral for a 15 year old killed in YET another senseless murder...ALL lives matter!

I  have a college friend who has had knee replacement and I hope she got good drugs! I'm keeping her in my prayers...

Many people are having their first Christmas without someone they love...I pray peace and comfort for them...

People have lost their homes in today's storms...it is incredible to watch neighbors pull together to help each other.

A post office was destroyed...how are YOU going to react if your mail doesn't get where it belongs? Based on what I have seen, most of you will start to bash the postal workers---shame on you! Mistakes happen and I am still searching for that perfect human--oh yeah, I have encountered those who think they are. They are wrong.

Homeless people are searching for a dry, safe place to rest...

My heart is saddened by the young Mother who took the life of another young mother and injured others...the death is horrible, but when I hear that she was TIRED and looking for a place to rest, my heart breaks more. If you have never done without-I mean REALLY done without a basic human need, then, you, my friend, are blessed.

In a country as great as America is, and yet flawed because her citizens are imperfect, I shake my head at how blinded we are to the needs of others and at the realization that mental illness is a reality! We live in a country, that we simply tell people to MOVE out of our way, instead of offering HELP...trying to get help for someone is almost impossible, while those who sit collecting benefits grows daily when they could be earning a living...I wonder where we went so wrong and when...

Broken families...
Broken hearts...
Lonely people...
Hopeless People...
Sick and dying souls...
Drug addiction...
Mental illness...
Bullies...
Tired workers...
Homeless people...
Financial struggles...
People who are afraid...
Workers who get no holidays....
Military Personnel and families...
People filled with hate...
Angry People...
Unforgiving people...
People always pointing fingers...
Entitled People...
Mean Words spoken....

IF ever we needed a Savior, it is now.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus...
Save us from our sins...

Let me learn how to love, to Give hope, to promote peace and to be JOYFUL during the good and the bad...teach me to have a heart like Christ! Let these lessons of being prepared extend beyond this season of Advent...amen...~~charlotte♡
