A Weird Ramble

This is supposed to be a time of peace, a time of goodwill. That peace has been shattered. It is hard to think of Christmas now. Now I can only think of presents under many families tree that will not get opened. The children's eyes that wont get to light up with wonder and excitement on Christmas morning.It is so hard not to blame God. Well, I know it it not God's fault. He gave us free will. He gave us a right to choose how we act, but it is hard not to ask why did you not stop this tragedy? He could have. I have also learned that God is God, in the good times and in the bad. I know we are not promised an easy life, but we are promised that he will walk with us when we go through a valley. That is the promise I cling to when it all gets to be too much. My heart is broken, and I have no connection to the school, I live100s of miles away. The thing is the kids that were killed were the very definition of innocent. This age group of kids do not understand evil and hate. My cubbies are now this age and it breaks my heart to even think of anyone one of them being so brutally murdered. I have not watched the news all day, but I clicked it on just a few minutes ago and already had to turn it off again. I heard more details too horrible to repeat. All I can say now is that life is short. You never know when you or your family members time is up on this earth. Do not leave their presents with telling them you love them, because that may be the last time you get to say it, and have them respond. Do not leave grudges and anger between yourself and other people, you do not want it to be their last memory of you, or yours of them. With that being said thank you for taking the time to read and to comment on my blog. I look forward to reading each comment you make. Be safe and hug your family members....
