A Loss

I am just posting some words this morning. It is always hard to lose people, and I thank the good Lord that my family is alive & well. But yesterday afternoon a deputy sheriff lost his life in the line of duty. He was part of the Rancho Cordova police department motor unit (riding on a motorcycle) and was tragically struck down during routine traffic enforcement (as far as I know). We did not know him, but, being a law enforcement family, it hits close to home & it hurts. He was a 43 year old man who is survived by a wife & 2 boys...and I think, what if I am that wife? How will I go on? How would I react to the news that my husband will no longer come home, no longer hug me & tell me that he loves me? and our kids? what about them? I have & will pray for this family as I do with all law enforcement...and I thank God that we have a personal relationship with Jesus. I know our place is in Heaven with the Father. If you are a believer, please join me in a prayer that God's will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. For all that we do & for ALL that we love & are yet to love & for those that we will not ever know but are called to love & for those that are hard to love but we must love anyways. Afterall, as Christians, this is our comission, to go & tell of the good news & to love our neighbor as ourselves (one of the most repeated commands in the bible). And if you do not believe in Jesus, know that I love you & I am praying for you.
