At the moment they announced the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial we were driving through Oklahoma, I sat there in utter shock and then began to cry, the tears streamed down my face like a waterfall and I could not help feel my heart just breaking for the lack of justice for this baby girl whose life had been taken for whatever reason it was. I cried for 15 or so miles, just quiet, tears dripping onto my shirt, crying! When I was a young girl I dreamed of having a house full of children, like my mom and dad had, there are 7 of us and I dreamed that I too would have all of the hustle and bustle of a full house. I was only blessed with one baby, and I never really understood why I could not have been the nurturer of many, in looking back I see now that God had other plans for me, a slew of "youngens" was not what I would have! I know many people who have not been blessed with the ability to conceive, thus they are unable to bare children. I know many personally that would be the best of the best when it comes to being mommies and daddies, why I used to ask, why do they have to adopt, why do they have to foster? I know it is not up to us to question God, it is up to us to have faith and to trust the path that he leads us down, it is still bittersweet though to want something so badly and not be able to do it! I was not angry with the verdict, I know that God is the judge and jury and he is the one who knows the complete story, he was witness to the exact details of this tragedy, he was there to carry little Caylee to heaven. I do not know why the verdict has come out as such, there was not enough evidence to keep her in jail, the jury felt something that the majority of the human race did not. I am not the jury, I am not the judge, I have opinions in my heart that I will not share here, but I do know that when she has to stand in our Father in Heaven's judgement, when she has to answer for the things she did and did not do, is when she will reap what she has sown. I am very sad, for the life short as it was, that Caylee endured! When we have children we are entrusted with God's special gift, he blesses us with these little spirits to give them physical bodies, he blesses us with the gift of loving and nurturing them, he blesses us with the privilege of instilling into them goodness, of filling them with the love of Christ and in teaching them the way. He does not give them to us to harm, he does not give them to us to neglect, he does not give them to us as a burden....he gives them to us with faith and trust that we will do what is expected. Seeing a child hurt is the utmost pain for me, my child is near 25 years old and I hurt when she hurts to this day, when I disappoint her it breaks my heart, sometimes I cry myself to sleep longing just to hug her! I will never understand why people hurt harmless babes, how can they show such disregard for helpless little humans? I am not standing in judgement, like I said, God holds that title, Casey Anthony knows what happened to that angel and will have to live with that for all the rest of the days of her life. May each of us look upon this as a learning tool, may we look at our children in a new and beautiful light, yes kids get on our last nerves, yes they drive us crazy, yes they demand much attention, when we are tired they are still full of energy...but just remember...GOD TRUSTS AND HAS FAITH IN YOU....we must trust and have faith in him, that is what we are taught from a young age, but he to has to trust and have faith in us and I am sure when we let him down, his heart breaks just as ours do here on earth. Take those babies into your arms today and let them feel the love you have for them, if you have been thinking about adoption, move forward with it, all children need love, all children are put here for a reason, if you know of a child being neglected or abused, do something to stop it NOW, don't let what happened to Caylee happen to more!
