Let us a pray today for President Trump and also our armed
forces as they endeavor to deliver a hurting people. Our President has had to make a very hard
decision. It is our duty as American
citizen to stand up for those that cannot protect themselves. I'm reminded today of the millions and
millions of Jewish, Ukrainian and Eastern European peoples that were taken by force into the
slave labor camps during World War II.
Many of them were very young, I think of my husband's mother who was
taken unwillingly from her family at around 13 years of age.
Millions and millions of people died in the Nazi camps,
murdered mercilessly. Gassed in masses
and their bodies thrown together into piles upon piles. There had to be crying out to God for deliverance
from a hell on earth. They had to watch
the Nazi soldiers kill family members and friends. This is just a small, small corner of the horrific
crimes of Nazi terrorism.
I remember my husband's mother told of the day she saw
Americans coming into the camp where she was.
She literally saw freedom walking her way. She was a young adult by the time the GI's
came into the camp. Thousands or more
were delivered with God's help. Many Ukrainians
were brought to America where they found freedom. My husband was born here, in America, as the
youngest child. He would not exist today if it weren't for the compassion of America. My husband would not be my husband and my
children would not be my children. We
would not exist as a family.
Sometimes we have to do hard things for the sake of
others. It is our duty to protect
innocent people who are helpless to help themselves.
Nobody likes war and it is a very scary thing, but sometimes
what is right to do, requires sacrifice.
We know that President Trump does not want war, but when innocent people
are being helplessly killed, duty
demands action.
I do not pretend to be a scholar on the matters of war, but I do understand the heart behind the decision. Pray today that it will not be necessary for
future action. Pray that our warning as Americans, will be heard and heeded by the Syrian government.
