The Wal-Mart Tragedy
Dear Blogger Friends & Family,
Most of us are returning to our normal jobs this morning after enjoying the Thanksgiving Holidays. However, there is one Wal-Mart employee who will never return to work. He was killed on Black Friday by a greed motivated crowd as they stampeded into the store, knocking him over and trampling him to death. Here is a prayer for that Wal-Mart employee, and for all of us.
Dear God Our Heavenly Father,
We ask you to show mercy on the soul of this Wal-Mart employee who died a needless death on Black Friday. Welcome him into your loving arms and eternal rest. Comfort his grieving family, and help them to find forgiveness in their hearts for the people responsible for this tragic and unnecessary death.
We ask your forgiveness for all of us, because we are all greedy at times. We are sorry for disappointing you. We ask forgiveness for the greedy mob that killed this man, the corporate promoters that created this tragic scenario, and for the corporate decision makers who have turned a season of holiness into a season of profit.
Help all of us to return to the true meaning of Christmas, the day when you gave the gift of your Son to all humanity. Help us to prepare to celebrate this holy day of Christmas with prayers and acts of kindness. Bring us all back to you and to the true meaning of Christmas, Amen.
May God bless all of those who pray this prayer and/or pass it along.
