Shortly after 9/11, my daughter Brooke was studying for Bible Bowl. She was spouting off scripture at break-neck pace just as any good Bible Bowler should. I quizzed Matthew 5:33-34 and she quickly began, "“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray ..." she stopped. The words she was saying sunk in. She looked at me and said, "You mean I have to love and pray for those men who crashed those planes?"
Prior to 9/11, I don't think she had ever processed "enemy." Flash forward 12 years and I read this blog post...All I can see is this little girl i my head who once again became acquainted with the word "enemy" and remembered the words of Jesus in that scripture.
May we all learn from her heart as it is touched by Jesus.

About Me
- GingerBroslat
- I am Ginger Johnson Broslat, a woman with a desire to make God smile each day. Most days, I think I make that goal. Some days I think He not only smiles, He is quite amused to hear my plans! I know no matter how far I get off of the path He has for me, He will walk with me until I let Him know I am ready to be back on His route. I would like to learn better to live in the moment. I tend to dream for the future or reflect on the past, when priceless moments could be passing me by! I try to capture them as often as I can through writing. Maybe through this blog, I will help you join me in living in the moments more often.
