Lay down your weaponsâŚ.Pick up and offer your heart in your hands instead. You will find love comes easyđđ˝â¤ď¸
I said I would not watch it and to date I have not watched it. For I too did not want to see the inhumane, sick, horrible, reckless, hate, senseless murder of an innocent child of God and a Motherâs child. The child she carried and gave birth and nurtured. The child who in his last audible words on this earth cried out to. I weep as I write. Help me Lord Jesus. He cried for his Mother. The one our God found favor to care for one of His on this earth. His Mother. Help me Father. My prayers going up for his family especially his Mother. May the peaceful, loving arms of our God and Savior wrap around her providing refuge, safety and a sacred vessel for each tear she sheds. For each tear she sheds just as each hair on our head God knows. I pray for all the tears we shed provide a mighty cleansing river to stop the senseless ungodly acts of hatred against one another against one of His. I weep as I write. Heavenly Father we need you here. Hear our prayers. đđ˝
I said I wouldnât watch that video
Tyre Nichols
I said for my own peace of mind, for the sake of my own sanity, for my hope for whatâs left of the human race, I would not watch the awful murder of another black man. This time I would refuse. I wanted to have the luxury of many people in the world who can just turn it off with ease. Many people canât imagine it happening to them because honestly, it never will. I was determined to see what that space felt like for once, I would cover my ears and not let in the outside. I knew it wasnât possible because when some people hate the outside it doesnât matter whatâs on the inside even if whatâs in there looks like them.
So today I will cry, I will be depressed, I will curse, I will be outraged, I will want to burn some s**t up, I will be in agony, I will let my heart break for his family, I will moan with his tenor harmony from my own experience that is every black man thatâs ever called for the safety of the arms of mamma, I will inaudibly scream.
But somewhere in the wrestling between the moon and the sun for the right to deliver light as if one is good and the other is evil, in that hour, I will get quiet, then I will be still, I will weep, and then I will pray.. and with the morning light, no matter who tried to dim it⌠I will get up and I will fight on!
