Very Inspirational…. Thank you for a wonderful story of faith in action.
Brief but powerful! This family will be in my prayers!
Losing a child would be a horrific event but this is not our home and our children in truth belong to the Lord. God gives us such a loving and protective heart for our children but yet He loves and protects more than anyone. Thank you Heidi for sharing your faith and for understanding the hearts of men for what they are and what they can be.
One day we will all be united with our Creator and the wickedness, the hate, the carelessness, the cruelty, the lies, and even war will be no more.
Bless you sister.
“I think that Israel should be allowed to defend herself from the hate that is being poured out on her.”
I don’t dispute the right of self defense, but unless you take a look with seeing eyes at why Israel is the object of such hate, your daughter will have truly died in vain. Israel’s abuse of the Palestinian people is such that their only recourse to defend themselves is through acts of violence that strike at the heart of Israeli society. Look at the maps, just look at the maps and you will begin to understand what is happening in the occupied territories.
