URGENT PRAYER NEEDED FOR CT. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

     My  heart  is  just  broken  for  the  parents  waiting  to  find  out  if  their  child  is  among  the  dead.

     Three  hours  ago,  during  morning  announcements  a  shooter  entered  the  elementary  school,  killing  18  children...8  adults  and  then  the  shooter  was  found  dead.   They  believe  most  of  the  children  were  in  a  kindergarten  class.....so  tragic  and  at  Christmas.

     There  are  no  words...TEARS...TERROR...ANGER...  except  I  pray  the  parents  feel  the  love  and  grace  of  God  through  all  those  who  extend  their  hands..


     You  keep  track  of  all  my  sorrows
       You  have  collected  all  my  tears  in  your  bottle.
          You  have  recorded  each  one  in  your  book
                                   ~Psalm  56:8



     Cast  thy  burdens  upon  the  LORD;  and  he  shall  sustain  thee:  he  shall  never  suffer  the  righteous  to  be  moved.
                                   ~Psalm  55:22


I  have  had  a  daughter  die  but  I  cannot  even  begin  to  imagine  your  grief.   To  send  your  child  to  a  "safe"  school  and  then  you  stand,  pacing,  waiting  to  see  if  your  precious  child  is  one  that  will  not  be  coming  home...I  am  so  very  sorry  you  have  to  go  through  this.  I  know  the  United  States  send  their  prayers,  love  and  tears.   The  road  is  going  to  be  rocky for  a  time.

prayers, hugs, tears
Simply  Debbie

I just blogged about this also and, like you...what can you even say? Devastating heartbreak doesn't even begin to cover what these parents must be going through.

Oh, Debbie- We know the pain of losing our children but can you imagine the horror of losing one to such a senseless tragedy? God bless them- xo Diana

I am watching it now - my heart goes out to the mommies who won't be able to put their babies to sleep tonight.
