I just sent a comment to the President. Today marks the 5-year anniversary of my son,
Matthew's murder. I asked the President to please not send any troops, or
launch any weapons whatsoever, into Syria
I also understand that if I had tried to
harm those who killed my son; I would only be creating more violence.
Our family’s lives have been forever
changed by Matt's death. His death has caused us to continue to move forward to
help others in seeing that love and forgiveness can change lives for the
better.
I am not sure if the President will ever see
my comment, but I had to send it because I believe it. I am praying for the
millions of families who have been completely devastated by murder, genocide
and the horrors of violence in this world that we live in. To see these innocent babies murdered, is beyond any of our worst nightmares.
God, guide and comfort us all
.
I do know that retaliating is not going to bring our loved ones back. What is it about some of us, in which we feel the need to show "others" how powerful we are by launching our own missiles, death and destruction on the perpetrators? It doesn't work.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.~ Albert Einstein
I must also say that
I have seen the beauty, the peace and the love, which has come from many of
these same affected families, as they have decided to allow the light and love
of God to shine through the darkness. Our daughters, Briana and Tea-rae are
just two examples of this.
We will continue to ask for a miracle. I love
what I read on pages 66 & 67 in Marianne Williamson’s book, A Return to
Love: "If we think of ourselves as beings of this world, then the laws of
scarcity and death, which rule this world, will rule us. If we think of
ourselves as children of God, whose real home lies in a realm of awareness
beyond this world, then we will find we are under no laws but
God's."
I know that I am a child of God and I have a purpose here.
