I won’t lie – I haven’t read a single story about what has occurred. I read the headlines with the quotes of how many beautiful children have had their lives cut short so tragically and intentionally stayed away. I have a seriously hard time dealing with things such as this as my mind flashes to the “what ifs:”
- What if it was my child / children?
- What if it wasn’t them but they were the ones who survived?
- What if I something else happens and I never get to hug or hold my little ones again?
- What if, what if, what if…
I don’t have answers to any of those questions, but they will paralyze me if I dwell here too long. So, I will avoid the news until such time as I will be able to actually sit down and work thru each of these questions – until I can bawl my eyes out from the pain – until I can hug and hold my children in safety once again tonight.
But until then I will pray. I will pray that these children and their families are comforted by our Savior Jesus Christ today and always. I will pray that my children come home safe to me once again. And I will pray for one more chance to do things right for them.
So tonight, hug and hold your little ones and other loved ones a little closer and pray for those who can’t.
