(Four days until due date! September 20th)
Thank you for all you did for God and country. We will continue to pray for your family.
The reason it feels heavier than so many other tragedies is because your spirit recognizes that this is not just about a man, it is about a battle. Scripture says eternity is written on our hearts, and when someone who carried truth with boldness is suddenly gone, eternity aches within us. It’s like our souls know instinctively that the darkness celebrated, and that strikes us at the core.
The reason you can’t shake it is because psychologically, we don’t only attach ourselves to people…we attach ourselves to symbols. Charlie became a symbol of conviction in a time of compromise, courage in a time of fear. And when a symbol is struck down, it rattles something primal and eternal inside us.
That’s why even those who never met him feel it. There is a strange thread pulling at us, and it is not imagined. It is real. We are bound together by shared purpose, by shared longing for truth, by the Spirit of God Himself weaving us into a fabric that cannot be torn apart. This loss pulled at that fabric, and every one of us felt the tug.
So, if you’ve wondered why this hits so hard, it’s because your soul knows. This is bigger than news. This is bigger than politics. This is about eternity, about truth, and about the weight of a man whose life carried both.
Love y’all. - Chad Prather

ReplyDeleteI loved Chad Prathers comment on this. So true.
ReplyDeleteAny death that takes a husband away from his family is sad. I will be praying for his family!
ReplyDeleteSo very true. Thanks for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteChad's commentary hits the nail on the head, Sandie. We feel the loss because Charlie was an integral part of God's plan, and we instinctively know that. And because God's heart is grieved, ours grieve, too. Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this! Well done! Amen!
ReplyDeleteVery nice post. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the baby.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
ReplyDeletePeople have to stop murdering each other just because they disagree! It is getting worse and worse.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Thank you for sharing this today. We are all feeling this really deeply.
ReplyDeleteFeeling this deeply. Our soul grieves.
ReplyDeleteYour post by Chad is right on and says it all.

I know you are anxiously awaiting little Mackenzie coming into the world. May God be with Shaye during the delivery.
ReplyDeleteIt hit me really hard and am still in shock...hoping it was just a bad dream but I know it was not. Just heartbreaking. Janice

Thank you for this post, Sandie.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Very sad!
ReplyDeleteSad that some must resort to killing instead of agreeing to disagree. WE will never solve problems in this manner, because we will NEVER completely agree on every thing.... Sad we have come to this acting without thinking of the family left behind...
ReplyDeleteside note about my mama. She was tired ater the move and slept, with a neighbor looking after her... Love you girl, thinking of you, love how you think of others...
This is so beautifully written and profound. The way it explains why we feel grief for someone we didn't know is so powerful. It's true that some people become more than just a person; they become a symbol, and it's a huge loss when that voice is gone. It really makes you think about the impact one person can have on so many people.
ReplyDeleteChad's text was spot on, Charlie's death did leave a hole in me that is hard to explain.
ReplyDelete"So, if you’ve wondered why this hits so hard, it’s because your soul knows. This is bigger than news. This is bigger than politics. This is about eternity, about truth, and about the weight of a man whose life carried both."
ReplyDeleteCould not have said it better than this.
A very sad chapter in our lives!
ReplyDeleteSandie...wonderful words regarding Charlie Kirk. May God be with all who miss him so much and are hurting. Hoping that new baby great granddaughter is getting ready to arrive. It cannot be too long now. Hugs!
