Re: Hi Refreshed


Hi Alikat, thank you for pleasant debate. And Catlin, you are so right she has a wonderful way with words.

It always surprises me how different people can look at the same picture or read the same book and in the end come to a different understanding of what it represents. It really sometimes depends on what angle you are looking at it I guess.

The question was "Why did my son have to die?" The comparison I was making had to do with willingly sacrificing for others. Both Christ and soldiers (not all but most) want to serve their fellow man. I do realize that not all wars are justified and perhaps because our minds are so heavy with disappointment of how the war we are now in is managed, may be why some are not seeing what I see in the message. I on the other hand wanted to offer a message of appreciation to our soldiers. After all I have a military family.

Many have been in the military for years but they themselves do not set the wars in motion. They are instructed by someone higher than themselves.

This is the part that is Christ like to me. They willingly say "not my will but thine" and are willing to give their lives for someone else. Just like Christ, our soldiers want someone they can trust (that has their best interest at heart) that will make sure the sacrifice is what they signed up for. Christ had someone He trusted but for our soldiers it is ever so important to pick a President who has true insight into what this world really needs.

I'm not glorifying or justifying war. Just pointing out that despite injustice or greed we have people who are waiting in the wings or are already in service, ready to do whatever it takes to save us (physically). We can hate and protest war...I'm all for it but let's not forget this world (physically) and our souls (spiritually) required someone that was willing to sacrifice for all of us.

As a Christian I am not for war but I do try and let our soldiers know that we are thankful for their giving spirit.
