I have been completely enthralled with the missing child report in Florida. A young lady 21 years old supposedly handed her daughter off to a babysitter and hasn't seen her since. Casey Anthony did not report her daughter missing, she did not look for her daughter, the grandmother reported her missing after the daughter came home after a month. Then Casey led the detectives on one wild goose chase after another. The physical and mental evidence in this case shows that the child is dead, but yet the mother hangs on to her story that she handed Caylee over to the babysitter. Can we warp our minds so badly with lies that we believe them? I am calling for prayer. For Casey. We all know that God works miracles on a daily basis. I have been praying that this mother will get a conscious, and realize that she needs to stop the lying, I am praying that the mother will see that even if no one else is there for her that God is.
What we as mere humans can not forgive of ourselves, God does!!! No matter what things we feel we have done that are unforgivable, God forgives. If we have wronged someone then it is our duty to ask them to forgive us, if they don't that is their burden to carry then. God forgives us if we ask.
I pray for the grandparents trying to stand by their daughter. None of us ever want to believe that our children do things that are so horendous or stupid. I pray for the brother who had a very close relationship with his sister. I always say a prayer for little Caylee, just in case she is not dead. My optimistic mind always holds hope that maybe she is telling some of the truth, and that little girl will be brought home. But most of all I pray that the Lord will use this in some way to bring people closer to Him. With all of the media attention that is surrounding this case I hope that somewhere in all this mess that humans have created, that our Creator will shine through and show that He is always there.
Pray continuously. That is what God tells us to do. It is easier than you or I think. It is just a matter of practice. When you wake, thank God for your night and the day that is set before you. When you walk past your child's room say a little prayer for them. When you fix your morning coffee thank God that you have electricity. When you drink your coffee thank God that you can taste it. When you have to get ready for work thank God that you have a job. When that person zips past you talking on their cell phone, pray for them, instead of cursing or complaining. When that little child comes up with their sticky hands and grabs you by the leg, pray for them. You get my drift. So many times a day we think or say something that isn't very nice about others, and if we would say a prayer for that person instead it will help them and it will definitly help you.
PRAY UNCEASINGLY
I am not sure all this progress is a good thing. When I was growing up we would tell our parents that we were going to go play. We usually didn't have to say where, they knew that we knew what we were allowed to do. We didn't have a cell phone to contact them or all of our friends whenever we wanted. Using the phone was something that we had to earn. It wasn't something that was handed to us on a silver platter. We would stay out till dinner time, then help clean up and then go again. We were always out playing with someone or someone was always at our house. It seems that our house was a constant stream of people. It was really something special when we got to go all the way from our house to grandma's. (Pickerington to Baltimore) We walked about everywhere. Need to go to the store? Well the road isn't crowded. My brother and I use to ride our bikes from Lithopolis to Canal Winchester to go swimming. Do you think I would let my kid do that now? I love being able to get on my computer and talk to people or email people. But do you remember how wonderful it makes you feel to receive an envelope in the mail? Sure I enjoy these modern conveniences, but I would gladly give up every one of them to be able to let my child play all day at the neighbors, or let her ride her bike a few miles by herself, just give it all up for a little of the old security and peace of mind.
