The European Union (2)

My posts have temporarily been absent after the death of my Mum.  In another post or two I'll write about her.  She died at the beginning of June.

So disappointed
I don't have any words left.
I'm just too upset
It is a sad day
am deeply saddened

Just some of the kind of sympathetic, caring things friends and believers wrote to me in my bereavement.

Except that these quotations are not from my sympathy cards but are some of the more repeatable extracts from various believers - including pastors - posting their responses to the electorate making a decision they didn't like about the EU.

My Mum was a believer in Jesus who was saved by God's grace, blessed me, my daughter and very many people over very many years.

The European Union is a politico-economic bloc of 28 nations.

I fail to appreciate why an unwelcome political decision in a democratic country is attributed the same language that folk write in their condolences to me.  But if they think that the UK outside the EU is going to be like me without my Mum then they have a very poor grasp of death and bereavement.
