I'm reminded today of all the families who are missing children or parents.
Of the parents who want to wake up to find that it was all a bad dream.
Of the tear-streaked faces.
Of the numb pain.
Of presents that will never be opened.
Of the children whose eyes will never open.
Of the Christmas that won't be filled with family time and laughter, but funerals and tears.
My heart aches for theses families.
I can't express the pain I feel for them, and my soul pleads for their comfort.
Lord, hold them in your arms - remind them of your Love and purpose today and for the days and years to come.
Renew their hope.
Help them to take one step at a time and breathe in your comfort and peace.
Their lives are forever changed, but I pray that God can be glorified through this horror.
While America thinks of them for a few hours or a few days, these parents will never forget this tragedy.
My prayer is that, while they will never forget or fully recover, that they will find their comfort and peace in Christ.
"Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn." (Romans 12:15)
This world is not our home, and today I'm thankful for that reminder. Set eternity in our hearts, Lord.
