So Thankful
16 December
I can't stop thinking about and praying for all those families in Connecticut. As a parent, I can't imagine anything worse than receiving that call. My heart just breaks for those parents, siblings, and friends who are dealing with such a great loss right now. I am feeling so thankful that my two little babies are sitting right here with me. I am also thankful that I have a heavenly Father who knows all things, has a purpose for all things, and is our greatest comfort.
I took a field trip with Claire on that very day, December 14th, and I keep looking back at the pictures with an overwhelming sense of sadness. It's hard to imagine that during this time when we were enjoying the holiday season together, there were children elsewhere who were feeling such absolute terror-something that young children should never feel. I am so very thankful for my children, and the safety God has granted us thus far; and I will continue praying for all those dealing with this tragedy in Connecticut.

It's so sad to look at the picture of all of them sitting and listening, to think how innocent those other kids were, doing the same thing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun field trip though!
