Our Thoughts and Prayers are with your People and your Great Country
by Craig Lock
I was shattered since I heard the momentous and tragic news affecting
your country, and the entire world. Glued to TV news (CNN) over here.
What's the world coming to.
Here on the other side of the world in "little NZ", we are mourning
with your countrymen. I'll keep up my prayers that sanity and peace
will ultimately prevail in the world.
Although we can't understand events, I feel God will bless you and
your great country's "immense generosity of resolve and especially
the Spirit of it's people.
Justice will ultimately be done.
The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it."
- George C. Scott
I am reminded of something Mahatma Gandhi's said not long before
he was assassinated: "When I despair, I remember that all through
history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been
tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the
end, they always fall. Think of it, ALWAYS."
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And lean not on your own understanding;
Proverbs chapter 3; verse 5
"Past the seeker as he prayed
came the crippled and the beggar
and the beaten. And seeing them...
he cried, 'Great God, how is it
that a loving creator can see such things
and yet do nothing about them?'...
God said,'I did do something.
I made you."
- Sufi Teaching
LET THIS time of sadness BE YOUR FINEST HOUR,
as amidst the tears, the courage, and especially the
SPIRIT OF YOUR PEOPLE CAN OVERCOME absolutely
ANYTHING. It's what makes a country great!
May God Bless you, your families and America.
Yours very sincerely

P.S: Marianne Williamson's beautiful words in her PRAYER FOR AMERICA
may be helpful to many at this time. In addition, the following prayer for
world peace by Neale Donald Walsch may help us all in our grieving and
help us to try to understand what cannot be understood.
