My words aren't enough...

Today is a sad, sad day. 

It's hard to describe how I feel. 

I feel crushed.  I feel defeated.  I feel overwhelmed.  And I don't even know these people.

I feel fortunate.  I feel blessed.  I feel overwhelmed.  For the joy I have to hold my children tonight.

I am sad.

Those innocent little children.  Those sweet little faces - scared, probably wanting their parents.  Oh my heart breaks.  The tears keep coming and I keep praying.  That is the only thing I can do. 

Prayers make difference.  Remember - Christ came to save US.  How do we spread his word?  How do we reach more people and share his love?  This is the work of the devil.  Don't let him win.  Don't let him smile tonight.  He thrives on pain, evil and deceit.  We need to pray.  We need to lean on the Lord.  That is the only way.

Dear Lord,

Please be with these families tonight as they grieve their loss.  Please let them feel your love.  Dear Lord, please let our country know and feel your presence.  It is only by you that we are great.

Your loving servant,
Shelly
