Once again, our lives have been saddened by the horrific tragedy that occurred in a Mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand. The innocent killing of 49 people and the many injured and hospitalized is overwhelming to hear about and to witness on the evening news.
I’m sure none of them went to this Mosque thinking this would be their last day alive. They were there to find peace and to show gratitude for the lives they were living.
A madman decided he wanted to eliminate people he disliked. His reasons far too obtuse to give them any thought.
This was not a madman.
This was someone who wanted to control the way the world should be. He methodically planned all of it. That’s not the mind of a madman. It’s the mind of a man who doesn’t respect human life. I disagree with calling this mad man.
The losses of the lives of innocent children and adults has burdened us with heavy hearts.
To all who are suffering from this tragedy of lives lost we send our prayers.
My Wish
Let’s wish people freedom to worship
Let’s wish people healing from pain
Let’s wish people a prayer of comfort
Let’s wish people a gentle touch of good will
Let’s wish people a smile of cheer
Let’s wish people a peaceful hand to hold
Let’s wish people encouraging days
Let’s wish people a loving hug
Let’s wish for peace to rule the world not hate.
I wish to believe that no matter what life gives us we can have hope.
Wherever, we want to be with a loving hand to help us we can get there.
May your troubled hearts find peace and comfort in the knowledge that you are not alone.
May God’s presence ease your trembling spirit and give you rest.
He is there to cast sunlight into all of your darkened shadows,
to send encouragement through the love of friends and family,
and to replace your weariness with new hope.
Blessings, Isadora 🙏
