"You know what, Coni Jo? When something like this happens, I don't pray that it never happens to me. I pray that if it does, God will give me the strength to get the bad guy, run in to help, or give comfort to somebody who needs it."

After Tucson.
And after Aurora.
And after Newtown.
And after Boston.
Amen Aunt Chrissy.....
ReplyDeleteAunt Chrissy is a very wise woman!
ReplyDeleteI was impressed, when watching the coverage, with the number of people who did not run away but ran toward the disaster to help. All of these incidents prove that there are crazies in the world but it also proves there are many more amazing, selfless people who are our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and neighbors. I prefer to embrace the heros and heroines and dismiss the crazies.

Well said Aunt Chrissy. My prayer is that everyone is praying this prayer.
ReplyDeleteLovely! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Aunt Chrissy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful prayer, Aunt Chrissy. I hope I can find my inner bravery also if I should ever experience something like this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful prayer, Aunt Chrissy!
ReplyDeleteTwo wise women who contributed to my serenity this morning-- thank you both!
ReplyDeleteAs a retired paramedic, I know what it takes to run toward danger when most run away. Those in Boston deserve our praise!
ReplyDeleteAdd West, Texas to the list - at least 5, and possibly more, of the first responders are dead, and many more injured.
How very profound.
ReplyDeleteAunt Chrissy is pretty damn brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI think a lot about you and Aunt Chrissy, Coni, and I hope every day that both of you are doing as well as can be expected.
Couldn't have said it any better. Be safe ladies.
