I sit here tonight, hanging out with my family I can't help but hurt for those mothers and fathers that lost their children in this terrible tragedy in Newtown, CT. I've seen the articles and read them, I've seen the President's speech and tried to choke back tears. I just don't understand how someone could do what has been done. The last day or so, I've done nothing but reflect on the what if's. What if that had been my child's class? She is a first grader. What if my child had endured that and lived....all the frightening questions I'm sure other parents out there have already thought. I just ache for these parents that have to live with this pain for the rest of their lives over something so senseless as this. Having to deal with the media for the rest of their lives, people, just anything that comes at them. I can't imagine! I've been praying for these families since it has happened and I pray they all find peace through this. I know that everyone has been saying it but hug your little ones more tighter and tell them you love them more often than you already do. You just never know what will happen tomorrow. I know that we all can't live in fear, but I think being a little bit more aware of your surroundings isn't always a bad thing. I know sometimes myself, I walk around and don't really think that anything bad can happen. This is just evidence that it can and it can happen in your little small town. We serve an amazing God and as horrible as this tragedy is, those little children served a purpose here for the time they were on this Earth and they are now doing their jobs in heaven. I know that something good has to come of this evil. I just have to believe in my heart that it will. The song I have listed is one of my favorite Christian music songs. I am subscribed to her on Facebook and I just noticed that she put it up. This song just keeps pounding in my head after this horrific event has taken place. That is all.......
