THANK YOU
Dear Heavenly Father, please strengthen the countenance of our leaders and those who represent them, to consider the weight of their words before speaking; particularly where matters of the heart are concerned. Enable them to offer gentle words, particularly in a season of mourning, such as this, that the lives and service of fallen soldiers be fittingly honored. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
To The Families of Our Fallen Heroes,
Thank you, for sharing with us your most precious and treasured gift from God, your beloved sons. No words can atone for your loss, and indeed, the immeasurable loss to our nation, yet in the frailty of our humanity, we offer our sincerest condolences. We owe to each of these brave warriors, a debt which cannot be repaid. For their courage, bravery and unwavering commitment and dedication to this country, and for fulfilling their call of duty by having made the ultimate sacrifice, we honor them by simply and respectfully saying, Thank you. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Please know that you are not alone, God is with you, even as you walk through this valley of sorrow; for He promised to never leave nor forsake you, and your tears He has put in His bottle, that He may be mindful of your sorrows.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Commentary:
We can exercise our freedom to voice our opinion, through social and other mass media, from the safety of our four walls, whether it be our homes, schools, offices or even from the oval office, because God has raised up for us brave young men and women who courageously stand on the front lines, of the walls of this country, to protect such liberties. Yet, while we are free to choose what we say, write, post, tweet, etc., we must consider the implication and impact that our words have on the innocent, which in this case are the families of these brave servicemen. None of you would want your loved one’s legacy contaminated by shameful rhetoric, over inconsequential issues, that have absolutely nothing to do with their service or sacrifice. I certainly would not; I would much prefer that you simply say Thank you, especially from the oval office. These young men were killed in the line of duty, to protect our lives and freedoms, the very least that we can do is, kill the noise, by paying tribute to them through the remembrance and celebration of their lives and service. Being imperfect, we all make mistakes and we would that others might forbear us, therefore, setting aside all bitterness, let us forbear one another in love, demonstrating maturity through forgiveness and humble submission to Godly counsel. Forgiveness is not about right vs. wrong, winning vs. losing, nor approval vs. disapproval. It’s about loving God enough to put Him first. He simply asks us to “FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER.” He asks so little. Do you love Him, even that much? . . . He sure does love you “A WHOLE BUNCH!”
The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit
