"What if"


 
My Dear Friends:

First, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you who live in California with the storms. 
 
It is horrible here. So many are suffering, and inasmuch as the president stated he would help, there really is no help.  I feel our government is now doing all it can to weaken our country.  And so we wait on the Lord. 
But..................

What if we are still here next week?
What if we are still here buying 2013 calendars at the end of December?
What if the Supreme Court states gay marriage is okay?
What if children never know Jesus as we do?
What if children never come to know the laws of the bible and what God gave to us through his son Jesus Christ?
What if children never realize that God loves them so much he gave his son's life  so that they can have life?

Not one person will listen any longer.  It is now enough to save myself in the face of such adversity.  The sadness grows everyday.  We now should pray, as Jack Kelley stated, for our own selves and strength to see us through. 

I follow  the news each day on the middle east and life there is desperate to say the least.  At night I thank God that I have a bed to lay in, and yet at the same time, feel guilt that I do when so many are sleeping on the streets.  I cannot find comfort when I know there are many without comfort and love.  I have always been this way, and try each day to be a comfort to people. 

I pray all of you are correct about the beginning of December. If not, again we try to carry on. 
 
What a mess everything has become.  God look after us all.
 
YSIC
