Good morning! How are we faithing? I know we are all trying to absorb the events of Friday morning. We can't wrap our heads around the killing of innocent children. The other mass shooting these past few years, horrible as they were, didn't strike the same nerve this one did. There are many Parents and Children afraid to go to school today. How do we cope? How do we encourage our children when we are afraid too? I suspect there will be a lot of absentees today and that just isn't surprising. I have grandchildren in school. I have nieces and nephews in school too and I am apprehensive for their safety. There are no words that I can give to ease that apprehensive feeling you all have but I do know prayer to our savior with our children can calm our fears. I do know the peace that passes all understanding is available to us all. I am really struggling to convey an encouraging message because of my own weakness. Evil exists in this world and I don't like it. Whatever was wrong with that young man is up to God to deal with and not us. We must pay attention to our children and take steps if we see anything amiss. We must train them how to cope. We can no longer rely on the TV or video games as a babysitter. I am not placing the blame there I am encouraging all parents to stop what they are doing and take notice. I know this life is rough and we work hard just to survive but at what cost? Our job is to raise these children to be God fearing, upstanding adults. We are preparing them for their life on planet earth. So today as you comfort and teach your children about life, hug them tight and pray with them so they know where to go when they stress.
Php 4:6-7
In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
remember all those effected in Connecticut...
Heavenly Father,
We come before you with heavy hearts. We are afraid Lord of this evil. We are worried about our children and want to be not afraid and be able to love and comfort our kids . Lord we ask a pouring out of your Holy Spirit on us all so we may rejoice knowing we are yours even in this tragedy. Protect the children. Gaurd our hearts from hate and dread. Keep us ever aware of your love, in Jesus name, amen
