New Year 2024 and War | Laveda D. Rockford

 


New Year 2024 and War

It has been a very difficult year for many. Wars and rumors of war are all the rage. What small-minded people start wars? Those who hate, those who have nothing more to do than find fault in innocent people living in freedom. Freedom is not free. Freedom was paid for from the backs of those who care enough to fight back against the darkness. I do not believe in war; war shows how far we have come from kindness and the ability to live with each other whether we have differences or not. It was not very many years ago when we lived in kindness. Have you forgotten?

Differences define us. I believe in Jesus Christ, does that make me bad? No, that gives me hope for the future. If you do not believe in Jesus Christ, does that cause me to try and destroy you? No! I try to respect everyone no matter what they believe. It does hurt my heart when I hear someone use the LORD’s name in vain, but it is more of a sorrow for the person because I do not think they understand how dangerous that is for them.

There are many just like me that feel this way. But darkness is constantly weaving its way into the mix of things and tearing lives apart. I have never heard of the horrible things that happened on October 7th happening in any modern war. Wars like that were looked down upon and, I believe, there are rules of war that the WORLD signed that we, as people, are supposed to acknowledge when conducting war. And not one person has come out and said one thing about it. If it would have been America, Israel, Spain, Italy, Great Britain, starting a war like that, the WORLD would be against any of those nations. Then why have I not heard one sanction? One reprimand? Anything? I do not understand how the WORLD can look at this and say what happened is alright. It is not.

I hope for peace. I know that one day peace will come, but at what cost? Do you care for your people? Or are you holding on to power for your own advantage? Because from where I sit, you only care about yourself. Children being killed and others used as shields, it is not right!

I did not want to begin my first post of the year about war, but I HATE war.

My prayer for 2024 is that every one of you look deep into your soul and find out what drives you into war and what blood on your hands will do for your soul. Innocent blood must be paid for. One thing that I know, and I believe,

“And He said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto Me from the ground.” (Genesis 4:10, KJV)

 That explains that innocent blood speaks to GOD. May GOD help us all.

The Path | Laveda D. Rockford

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)   The Path My days are filled with work. I work full time, caring for the lawn, flower garden, and I am a painter of oil on canvas, as well as a writer and blogger. I am Laveda D. Rockford. My Mother, her doctors say, is in stage four cancer and has been since 2015. However, we are blessed that she can still do a lot of things on her own. In fact, I took her to see my brother in Texas and she will be staying with him for a while. Her next injections are not until later this month. I have not had time to write even though I have started my third book. The publisher that I contacted to publish my second book gave me an estimate but when I was ready to pay, they did not contact me again. I am wondering about this as I do have the funds and would like to begin. If you know of a publisher that is interested in a Christian novel, please send me the information so I c...

Ready For This | Laveda D. Rockford

  Ready for This Winter is shortly coming to an end, When spring colors do appear, What wonderful sights you see in shrubs and trees, Flowers of white, red, and yellow, with leaves of green, Shouts the joys of the spring, Singing loud before summers day, Oh, it is a wonderful day, When the earth wakes from sleep. © 2024 Laveda D.

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

  Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford I am trying my best in the heat of early summer to complete my flower garden borders. I have been working on this vision for almost two years and have finally reached a point where I can show you and you can understand. The newest section will contain a small patio area with table and chairs surrounded on one side with Buxus as a screen of privacy. Burgundy Plum and Cherry trees, as well as Sand Cherry and a few tulips will welcome spring weather. Then Iris will rise up until they burst into their beauty. Purple, yellow, and a burgundy and white combination. Oh, what a delight. Late spring into summer, Yarrow (Achillea) rise higher and throw on their crown of flowers acting as a forerunner into summer’s beauty. Phlox, Whirling Butterflies (Gaura) purple Salvia, Shasta Daisy, Hydrangea and Clematis all vie for attention in the summer sun. The Rose of Sharon, single and double, tree and bush, will bring forth their beaut...
