such sadness...

The horrific and unbelieveable events of this past Friday, December 14 in Newtown, Connecticut will forever be stuck in my mind. Burdened in my heart. So many sweet innocent little children who just didn't have a chance. Those brave wonderful teachers who selflessly gave up their lives protecting the little ones. I haven't been able to watch much of the news coverage or read the articles in the daily newspaper. It hurts too much. My eyes well up with unstoppable tears. The pain of those families seems unbearable.

Every morning before school Max and I give each other a big hug while I pray a prayer of blessing and protection over him. But until this past Friday, I don't think I was as aware of what I was praying. It certainly never entered my mind to pray protection over him from the events like that which unfolded at Sandy Hook Elementary. Never taking my dear loved ones for granted....hugging a little extra tighter these days.
