Terri cries

by Christine on February 19, 2005

Wittenburg Gate asks for a bloggers best for Terr Schiavo. Our best at this late date (two days before Terri’s feeding tube is to be pulled) is our prayers. Terri and her family has our prayers – Now hear is my post.
I am not a theologian, a philosopher, a politician or an activist. I am a mother, wife, daughter and a Christian. A theologian can write persuasively about Imago Dei and how only God can know our time. A philosopher may write about natural law and our innate revulsion at the taking of a human life. A politician may debate the use of torture for terrorists that leads to death, than draw parallels to the torture of, starvation and dehydration, of those more innocent. An activist draws our minds to stark images of partial-birth abortion and the acknowledgement by even the most partision for anesthesia for the unborn baby ripped from her mother’s womb. Than asks cynically, will Terri receive anesthesia as she suffers such a callous death?
All of these questions are important if not shocking. But a Christian mother, wife, daughter asks, no, pleads to our great God for a miracle. God champions the oppressed, Oh Lord,

Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry come to you! Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress!
Incline your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call!
For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace. My heart is struck down like grass and has withered; I forget to eat my bread;… But you, O LORD, are enthroned forever; you are remembered throughout all generations…. He appears in his glory; he regards the prayer of the destitute and does not despise their prayer. Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD: that he looked down from his holy height; from heaven the LORD looked at the earth, to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die, that they may declare in Zion the name of the LORD.
Psalm 102:1-21a

Terri cries, we cry, the Lord hears our cries.

When a Judge makes a life or death ruling, is it not proper to face the one who’s life is at stake. I think that judge should go and meet Terri. I know that she loves her family and does not want to leave them. I know that Terri has a very strong will to live. She has proved that when her feeding tube was so cruely removed before. It was wrong then and it still is and will always be wrong. I know if you are reading this, then you care about Terri too. I pray strength and wisdom for you. Don’t give up. together we can keep Terri alive.

Here I go commenting on my own blog, but let me welcome you to my conversation with me. We did not save Terri. Now when I think about it, we never were supposed to save her, that was not for us to do. That was what God did. He delivered her from any further evil. Now that her father has left us too, we know they are together with Jesus. And now we can see that it was God's plan for her to be whole with him, and as he promised, Her family is also being made whole in HIS time. Which is the perfect time. That does not mean stop fighting for those who can't speak for themselves by any means. We have to try to change things, but when they don't hear us, just remember, many did not hear the prophets or our God.
