dear diary As we near the end of another month where has the year gone and we read of such sad news every day,it makes me wonder at times how life can go on, people who arnt affected read about the dreadful things that happen and we all pray for the sufferers and hope it will never be us,i have heard so many people say if there is a higher being why does he let these dreadful things keep happening,but why blame him we were given the power of free thought and will, so is it not as much our fault as his,we can only be guided if we chose another path then surely it is up to us to chose peace,when we read of children being killed by other children or by people who dont seem to be able to control the destructive urges it is the human factor at work not our higher being,there is enough sadness in this world without the destruct button some have to press,i just felt i had to get this off my chest as i have 2 nephews out in afganistan so you may guess every time we hear of a killing my heart is in my mouth till i know my loved ones are safe, but then comes the sadness for those who have lost thier loved children and no matter how old they are they will always be our children or someone elses,till i write again i pray for peace to come sooner rather than later and that we all stay safe as do our loved ones. many blessings lavender |
