gone before christmas.
it was a blessed month--December. a month filled with happiness, laughters, love, blessing, presents, caring..im trying to think of all the good and happy words. as this is the time that we sinners once again find the purpose to live again. because our heavenly Father loves us so much that he sent his only son Jesus to Earth to die for us. and that made December 25th Jesus's birthday--Christmas. and ever since, we humans live without fear or confusion.
at this very joyful month, everyone, especially children should be doing their christmas shopping, taking photos with reindeers and their beloved santa claus, going on holiday, snowman building or writing birthday cards to Jesus. they should have all the time in the world to enjoy themselves. i know i did. but today, not all are lucky.
Last friday, December 14th, 26 victims--most of them children, were shot dead by a alleged shooter--Adam Lanza. The motives behind were unknown, but this is what we know, the hard and cold truth, that 20 over children were dead. suddenly. and before christmas. i don know what to say, or why am i even writing this. but i had this really heavy stone weighing in my heart and i don know who to tell.
i love children, i've always have. Jesus loves them best too. In Matthew 19:14, Jesus said: Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. In Mark 10:15, Truly i tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter. Those are God's word.
im not here to judge today. im not to say that Adam Lanza's evil and he deserves to die. im just really really sorry. for those kids. for their families. for their loved ones. it's Christmas for crying out loud. and all of the sudden, the joyful celebration becomes a sorrow event, with mourning, coffins, crying and dead little bodies, curling or laying straight. going colder and colder. and there's nothing we can do to help.
some of them might not even had the chance to blow their tenth candle, to learn how to ride a bike, to do their very first christmas presents wrapping. and they will never had the chance again..to kiss their mummy goodnight, to tell their dad they love him. and the saddest part: what if they never get to know God before.
it breaks my heart...just to think about it.
some of the kids involved in the tragedy.
sweet. pure. innocent. who would have thought the next minutes, these little angels would have left us..forever.
there're alleged heroes out there. maybe a principal who protect her/his students. maybe a teacher who hid the students in the lockers. we don know. but thank you. from the bottom of the heart.
and so, you out there. maybe you're now roasting a turkey for christmas dinner. maybe you're now wrapping your christmas presents or writing a postcard or christmas card, maybe you're now sitting by a fireplace singing christmas carols to your children, maybe you're celebrating christmas out late with alcohol and dancing. and so happen to run into this. drop that for a moment. clear your mind for a moment. lay your knees on the floor with crossed fingers in front of your chest.
..and pray.
for everything. thank Lord that you and your loved ones are safe and sound. thank Lord for the incoming wonderful Christmas meal. thank Lord for those who've survived the ordeal.
pray for those sorrowful families who've just lost their baby girl. pray for those with broken hearts and had no idea how to move on. pray for those who had given up love.
because this's exactly what Christmas's all about. to thank. to pray.
and this very moment, BigBang's concert doesn't matter, Micheal Palmer's affair seems pointless, Iphone6's releasing date's a total crap.
xoxo. with a broken heart.
