Tragedy So Why The Negativity

 

A small community was rocked by a big tragedy Saturday, April 27, 2013
You would think after this tragedy more people would be able to come together and forget all their pettiness but that really hasn't been the case for everyone.

A mother and four small children lost their lives to a tragic house fire. There were many lives affected because the mother was not the only mother or parent to lose her kids. There were two other mothers who lost the baby girls, there was a father and husband who lost his kids and wife, you had a mother who lost her daughter and granddaughters and you had three young girls who not only lost their mother but their sisters also. This has not been easy on anyone, even if you weren't part of the family or didn't know them personally {which I am and did} you could not hear this story and not be touched by it. You had a mother give up her life trying to save the lives of four small girls ages 5, 3, 2, and 1, the only one she was able to save was her 11 year old daughter by getting her to go to a window where she was pulled out by some young men in the neighborhood.  

Now given the magnitude of this tragedy and all the lives that it touched why is there still so much division, why are there so many negatives things being spoke about a young 27 year old mother who gave up her life trying to save the lives of others? I feel that and we see that no matter what the outcome was people will forever have negative things to say. It's sad because people talk about you when you come into this world, they talk about you while you're in this world and they will continue to talk about you when you leave this world. I think people tend to forget they have no heaven or hell to put anyone in and when they leave this world while they are here busy judging others they shall surely be judged when they are gone. No matte what someone did when they were younger or even the day before doesn't matter to God so why should it matter to you? Every day that a person wakes up they have the opportunity to change their lives and at that point nothing else matters at all to God one way or the other. How can people bring their mouths to say half of the things they are saying and how can people bring their minds to even for a second entertain such foolishness. None of that matters the only thing that matters is that she gave up her life to try and save the life of others, why is that being overlooked and not talked about. I wouldn't care if she was standing in her back yard when all this happened the fact remains the same, she lost her life trying to save those babies.

It's just sad that at a time like this the things that people will do and say, the only thing we can do is pray for the lost, misguided, and ignorant people. We were never put here to judge anyone that is not our place or our job that is for God and God alone. Show me a person without sin and I'll show you a person who hasn't been born yet. There is no person walking the face of this earth without a past and the key word is past. We all have the God given right to change our lives around for the better and once we repent and give ourselves to God there is nothing anyone can say or do to change that. As long as we receive God's forgiveness, people's forgiveness no longer matters because they don't have a Heaven or a Hell to put you in.
A young mother risked her life to save not just her babies by birth but 2 other babies also. That alone speaks a lot for her character so all the other crap she did when she was younger or even the day before no longer mattered. People can say they would have did the same thing but I can't bet if put in that same situation the ones doing all the bad mouthing would have left those babies in there and saved themselves.
