When I wrote my post yesterday, I was shaking, angry, confused, and yes...shocked! Today, although my emotions are in check, I am left with a sense of loss...a deep loss, as I'm sure everyone of you are experiencing today.
Prayer has given me solace. It is unfortunate we all live in a violent, loveless, hate-filled world with people who are selfish, cruel, yes, evil!
While we go on with out daily routine and lives, subconsciously, our thoughts are still on those parents who have suffered this tremendous loss. Sadly, they will have to live with this deep sorrow. How utterly devastating!
We talk about it, try to rationalize, make sense as to what went wrong and through this person's mind, what demons he was fighting, why so much hate, especially for his own mother? Nevertheless, this doesn't fix-what-this-person-has-broken! Those innocent lives can not be restored...those babies are gone, and their parents are left here to try and live with this havoc. You have to be made of stone if you aren't feeling this pain with them!
I pray they will find a sense of closure first, just to get them through each moment, hour, and eventually...days. Faith in God may have been shaken, but faith will be needed to get them through this horrific loss. I pray they will draw closer to God and rely on Him!
Let's all continue to keep them all in our thoughts and prayer...they all have much sorrow ahead. May God Bless Them All!
Amen to this! It really is such a senseless tragedy and there is no way to make sense of it. We'll all be keeping everyone in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a heart breaking thing to happen. Those poor little children. I dread when we see their pictures. That will hurt more. God bless those teachers. The one that said she told them that she loved them so that would be the last thing they would hear. We will hear more of these stories I'm sure. But there are empty arms wishing they could have their babies back. Just makes my heart hurt. I am sure the little angels are with Jesus and are safe. So sad.
