I ran next door while calling hubby and my neighbor called the police.

| Welcome Home doesn't feel so welcome. Didn't they read the verse at the back door or see the cross hanging in the window? |

| Real emotional violation occurred when I saw the ransacked bedroom. After dumping things on the floor as they cleared the drawers the burglars even took the top drawer in its entirety. That drawer was from the chest my Great Aunt Jewel had purchased in 1906----the emptiness a constant reminder. A reminder of several irreplaceables in that drawer. The only "love" letter I had of my Daddy's written to Mother during World War II, after the birth of their son, Buddy. The gold necklace with my grandkids names on it. My watch, hubby's wedding gift. |
"Batesville" Carolyn, understood and described it as a "theft" of our security."
Margie H. understood that the loss that goes beyond the cash and the jewelry to the personal--- "especially, sentimental things that they took from you and have hurt your heart in doing so. The people who do these kinds of things suffer from “cold hearts of stone.”
God understands too. I'm sure there is a life lesson in this for me as I prepare to teach Bible Study in just 3 weeks. The first verse in the lesson I'm teaching at church in Ecclesiastes 3:16 reads:
Furthermore, I have seen under the sun that in the place of justice there is wickedness and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness.
Though Ecclesiastes 12:13 & 14 is not part of my lesson assignment, I think I will definitely incorporate it into my lesson.
The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: (A)fear God and (B)keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.
Violation is the wickedness that happened at my house today between 10:45 and 11:45 am.
But God.....can use it for good. (Romans 8:28)
