Today, November 4th, is BlogBlast For Peace day. This is the 10th anniversary Mimi Lennox from Mimi Writes has gathered people from all over the world to blog for peace on any social media site. You should go to her page and read how it all started.
I feel the world is crazier than it has ever been. We need peace more than we have ever needed it. Races are fighting in our own country. People are killing our police officers. Crazed people who are allowed to put their hands on guns in a free country without gun control are killing innocents in schools, movie theaters, and malls all across America. We have soldiers dying in foreign lands fighting for freedom for others. I want peace for this country, for all other countries, but most of all for those I love and hold close to my heart. My son is a cop. I have friends who are cops. I want them to be safe and free from the fear that they will be shot just because they wear 'the uniform.' Join me today is praying for peace for our nation, for our world, and for our families.
Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
In spite of the dangers of life, peace must march on. A fine post.

DeletePaula for Peace! Amen! Blessings and protection to your police officer son and to all who bravely stand in harm's way.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gram. And Peace to you!
DeleteI saw a bumper sticker over the years "No Jesus, no peace." "Know Jesus, know peace." I think that's the answer but getting the world to see it is a different story. So in the meanwhile we continue to pray for it and hope to see it in our lifetime.
