I find it hard to put into words what stirs in my heart when I see these pictures. Harder still is to translate the tears that spring forth with the picture above. The ring of men encircling those at prayer are Christians.
When I think about the ugly rhetoric of some Christian voices on this side of the pond who want to paint all Muslims with a single terrorist brush, this image defies the fear at the root of those claims. And so much more.
God is the greatest. May our actions reflect that.

StitchinByTheLake is my Mom, and I am SO thankful to God for giving me to her! She and my father taught me unconditional love for humankind, and model a life of service to others and love for the Lord. So as she recognized the importance of this post, so did I. I am a high school teacher and have many teenage "friends" on Facebook - I've shared the link to your message there, thank you so much for this beautiful reminder!
May I add my "Amen" to this piece and thank StitchinByTheLake for steering me here.
