In my daily reading of reports of the attacks on Israel, my heart breaks. My Mother was born Jewish. I am only second generation Russian/Jew. My Family had to flee their country to escape the Bolsheviks and came through Ellis Island a very long time ago. i have ahalways been PROUD of the fact that I am considered Jewish, because my Mother is. I have enjoyed the best of both worlds. My Mom met my Dad when he was 15 and she was 14. She had converted to Christianity just the year before. My GrandParents should have disowned her when she married my Father 6 years after they began dating, but they did not. They welcomed him and celebrated me, as their first Grandchild born to them. Growing up, I adored my GrandParents....and they ALWAYS made sure I attended CAtholic Mass every Sunday, when I was with them. I had the BEST of both worlds. The Bible says, "he who defends Israel will be blessed and He who seeks to destroy it will perish". I think we can all agree that the Israelites have been the most persecuted and enslaved people in existence....and here are the Muslims calling for their deaths. Our Jesus was born a Jew....that was no mistake. They are and always have been the chosen ones. Only through Jesus can we get to the Father. Only through Jesus' death can we be absolved our sins. When I see a Muslim woman crying over the death of her family or neighbors or their children...God forgive me, I can have no sympathy. Dislike is one thing....but hatred is quite another. There's enough hatred going on in this world today, that we certainly dont need anymore. And so my prayers are for Israel.....my anguish is for them, each time the infidels launch their rockets and take pleasure in the precious lives they destroy. And I pray for myself.....that my heart will be softened .....for we need to pray for our enemies, who neeed it the most. Happy Sunday...... And.....my love to all who want it.
