Tonight I want to take my baby to Main Street and watch her dance to the music and lights. I don't want to think about the hurt that others are feeling in a state not so far away. I have turned off the tv and the news alerts, I know enough. Twenty Mamas have empty arms while mine are full of toddler hugs and messy kisses. I find that unlike tragedies of the past this one has caused me to stop and cry all day long. I can't not think about it, I keep praying for those but yet I don't really know what to pray for them. Peace, Comfort, Understanding, Wisdom? I don't know what you say or what you pray for those who have a loss like this. But I have found myself praying these words, Dear Jesus, be near. be near to those mamas, be near to the daddies, be near to the teachers, be near to the kids, LORD, be near.
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes & death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, crying, nor pain anymore." Rev 21:4
