Thirty Days of Respect | Laveda D. Rockford

 


Thirty Days of Respect

I have been very silent because my heart is broken. I have read about the desecration of children but never in my life did I imagine that I would be alive to know that such an act would happen again.

After WWII and the aftermath of such horrid acts would humanity again be silent while these corruptionists are allowed to rise again to power, skillfully spreading their hatred?

I was silent in honor of those in Israel using scripture as my guide. And that scripture is,

And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel. (Numbers 20:29)

My mourning will be over tomorrow, but my thoughts for the Jewish people are steadfast. I may receive hate because of this post but I have the feeling that many are being silenced because of fear.

Let me remind you, the 10% has a strange way of controlling the 90%. I hope and pray that you will stand with me against this spirit of fear. I pray that all of you join me in prayer to overcome the spirit of fear that the evil one uses against us. In the name of the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Hitler came to power and tried to annihilate the Jewish people. Will we stand by and watch it in our lifetime?

Well, I will not be silent. May God be with you and with me. I am not afraid; I know where I will go when that time comes. How I pray for peace, but I know there is a time for everything. I will, at this time, depend on the Peace that surpasses all understanding. To my God I pray.

 Always yours,

Laveda D. Rockford

Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not they peace: for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. (Acts 18:9, KJV)

Thanksgiving Thought | Laveda D. Rockford

  Thanksgiving Thought During Thanksgiving, most people gather to share stories of their year and greet each other with great esteem. While Thanksgiving is not celebrated around the world, I wanted to tell those of you who will be gathering with your families this Thanksgiving to please remember to say a prayer for those people who are having a very difficult time. Though we, as humans, sometimes think that our little part of the world is the most important, we have to realize that there are difficulties the world around. Many people do not have money to fill their tables with a bounty of food. Other people do not have the money to go and see their family. Thank goodness for the modern capabilities that computers give us. We can see our family on Thanksgiving Day if time allows.   Then there are those who have lost loved ones this year, or years before this and are having a difficult time adjusting to the news or accepting the challenge to continue to live. In honor of your loved

I Live For Freedom | Laveda D. Rockford

  I Live For Freedom As you know, I have been on vacation. It began on Monday morning in Missouri, and we arrived in Maryville, Tennessee that evening. The Lord graced us with beautiful sunshine every day that we were there. The first day we drove into the Great Smoky Mountains, around curves, up mountains, and into valleys all green and yellow that introduced the early autumn season. The beauty of it all gave me a piece of awe that you can only get when you know the love that was placed into such a sight as this. This is where my Cherokee ancestors lived. While there, I had the privilege of visiting the Museum of the Cherokee Indian in Cherokee, North Carolina. Between June 1838 through March 1839, approximately 16,000 Cherokee were removed from their tribal lands and relocated to Oklahoma. It is said that approximately 4,000 Cherokee died. My Great-Great Grandmother was six years old when she walked this trail. Her Mother, my Great-Great-Great Grandmother, was one of those 4
