After Defeats Schiavo Parents Tell Supporters Go Home
AP - Yahoo ^ | March 26, 2005 | Jane Sutton

Posted on 03/26/2005 7:20:40 PM PST by EveningStar

Bob and Mary Schindler, both practicing Catholics, urged dozens of supporters gathered outside the Florida hospice where Schiavo is being cared for to go home for Easter.

"The family would request that everyone go home, be with your children, hold them close and share every moment you have with them," said Brother Paul O'Donnell, a Franciscan monk who is a spiritual adviser to the Schindlers.

It was not clear if the Schindlers had finally abandoned all legal avenues in their fight to restart their 41-year-old daughter's feeding, a cause that embroiled the Florida legislature, the U.S. Congress and President Bush.

MSCASEY,

Sometimes, do you just sit and go blank?

You want to pray for God's will to be done and yet are afraid it may hurt Terri?

And if you're praying for Terri, you don't know what to pray for?

Sometimes I just sit. I'm so grateful for a God that looks in my heart and sees only the prayers that are for the good and honor His Son.

I am not sure what you are speaking of going blank or in an almost like trans?

I know that what is happening is not The Lords will for Terri. He would have not allowed her to live this long for this end. But I do believe He will use it for His Glory!

And I know that the instant she passes Yeshua will have her in His Hands.

Still the pain is horrible for her and her family. And her innocent blood is being shed.

I would think you would have been interested in it as an American, not wanting to have it happen here.

Though I didn't teach him to do any because of his racial ethnecity, it'll be interesting to see what my son thinks about you having that as your reason for learning history.

If you'd never mentioned your race, I would never had thought to ask my son what he thinks of someone having that as the reason.

It's good you threw that out there.

AP News is reporting that the husband has denied Terri communion on Easter.

God, please bless this nation.



Amen.

I guess sitting and waiting to hear from the Lord.

Praying is so important.

I learned to pray foolishly is to mock God.

So I sit.

I guess if I'm agitated or upset/angry, I have to sit for a while, which is probably a better way to say it.

No, I don't go into trances.

Oh, dear.

Happy Easter, FReeper pal. It's a test of our faith for sure.

This very well may be a test of our hearts. A test to see how some have harden their hearts and will not turn. I don't know but I feel like this may be a test.
If it is I don't like it but I think I will pass because it has torn up my heart.

I fear I will fail because I get so angry at those who see no wrong.

This is all the while know (I mean, KNOWING) he never cared for Terri's comfort.

That, of course, is when God does what I call a Wham!- and brings to mind my past. In reminding me that sin is sin no matter the scale - small or large, I would be destined to Hell if not for Jesus.

Some I counted on as having hearts turned cold on this subject. As in what I said earlier, it's not a problem for them.

It is Easter Sunday. Has been. Thank you, Saundra - for that note.

I dreaded this Easter because of what's going on in Florida.

But He is Risen-! Yes, He is risen-!

I know God will call Terri only at her appointed time. No matter how hard they try to kill her.

She is suffering because OF evil. But God will take her only on His timetable. Even if she should die tomorrow, it is still on His Timetable.

They will pay for the way, however.

And once with Him, she will know the Joy she has been denied for so very long.

May she be touched inside by God's Grace today.

I am certain that at times I have prayed in the same way a child says something that you just have to laugh at.

One time I prayed that the Lord would help me get this business so that I could sell it and get a home. He answered my prayer and I got the business. It was a nightclub, a 210 person capacity, live music. It was the biggest nightmare I hated it. All I wanted was to be with my young child. Six months after I opened Northridge hit. I trudged along with it for about two and half years. When the lease was up I was out of there. I wanted nothing to do with it.

It took another couple of years of prayer but I have my home and it was in His time and His place.

I often think that when I prayed for the club that there somewhere was a chuckle when that was granted. But it was for His Glory and put me in a place were I needed to be. At times there is such a connection it is really indescribable. That is what I was referring to as in almost a trans like state

I am so grateful for your post, FReeper Pal. It's just heartbreaking. I feel so sorry for the Schindler's and yet JUST LOOK AT THAT FAMILY!!! They have been such a fine example of Christian charity, goodness, patience, kindness and grace. I have so much respect for that family!!

Terri has a free pass right to the Loving Arms of Jesus Christ. I am so happy for her!

I am struggling, too, trying to deal with these monsters who did these horrific injustices to Terri and her family. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. Just remember that. It's not a burden we need carry. Those who caused this to happen to Terri are going to be sorry if they don't repent. Poor things.

The Schindler's spiritual adviser said they want us to be with our families today, to celebrate Easter and the Resurrection of our Savior. We have to give it our best shot. I have so much respect for the Schindler family!

God bless America.

I have been saddened and disappointed in humans that have professed to be Christians before. It is a very hard experience. But then I learned a very important lesson Never put my faith in man, but only in the Lord.

Anger is an emotion that the Lord knows we have. I do not think you will fail because your heart is directed in the right place. Pray for those that see no wrong. But when something this horrible is being done, not to have anger or be upset would mean you have hardened your heart.

Without even praying the Lord knows your pain and anger and mine also. There is nothing that is hidden from the Lord!
As I have prayed for peace in my heart that surpasses all understanding. I have had it and it will return. But for now I can not have peace with this and the Lord knows that too.

I know in His perfect time He will take care of things. And it will be to His Glory!
And I will pray that time comes soon.

Felos is the sort of lawyer that gives the legal profession the reputation it has the world over.

I'd like to be locked in a room with him for just five minutes....

Remember the Lord overturned tables and threw money lenders out of the Temple. Anger is not always a bad thing. At the moment, we have much to be angry about.

"Tom DeLay on CNN was comparing the "debate" over Terri to his own legal troubles in Austin. He felt persecuted too! Imagine that.

I read the text of the speech, Solomon. He did no such thing. I knew this would come up again and again so I saved it. If you like, I will FReepmail it to you.
