As you know the US has had many of them lately along with the ME. I react emotionally because it touches me emotionally and like you feel so very helpless and at times can't even pray- I just pace- back and forth. I love that story about Jesus and the kids and also where Jesus speaks of the millstone. They really send a clear message don't they. I am so glad you surround yourself with kids and I think you will do a fine job with counseling the kids, they could not have picked anyone better for that position. Deb, you and yours have the most wonderful Christmas and God bless you all...you have such a beautiful heart:love: 1 Link to post Share on other sites
pureinheart Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hope you're right. Pie, I'm seeing such a change in people as most are really paying attention now, probably for many reasons. The devil is a liar and his tactics are backfiring (praise Jesus!)...people just can no longer justify the hypocrisy. About 15 or so years back at my prayer group, most felt that a revival would take place before the return of our Lord. I began to wonder if she (she spoke revival in our prayer group and everyone received a witness in our spirits) had heard the Lord wrong as most everything appears to be upside down in this country, but I do see the very real possibility now. God bless you Pie and please stay safe and warm and may this Christmas be the best ever! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
