A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.

What a tragic day for Boston, for America. The peace that we often take for granted is being threatened by unknown forces. As I sit watching the news, my prayers go out for the families of the injured and the dead. I can’t for a moment imagine the pain and fear. Life is so fragile. At any moment, without any warning, it can be taken away. Today, what I thought was this: If you are a parent, hug your children, draw them close and let them know that you love them. Teach them that love transcends and disperses hate. If you are a husband or a wife, spend time with your spouse. Realize that you are blessed to have someone willing to put up with your imperfections. Tell your family and your friend how much they mean to you. Life is short. We have no guarantees, so don’t lose a single second. Don’t take anything for granted. Today, a selfish act was committed in our country. Let us, as a nation, combat that with selflessness. My prayer: Lord please hold the people of Boston in Your arms. Give them Your peace and shower them with Your love. Please allow them to have justice. Keep them safe and secure for the remainder of this day. In Your name I pray. Amen.
So what am I thankful for today? That even in the midst of tragedy we can still pray. We can still find peace.
I did find peace for I prayed when I heard about this. The thing is there is no answer for these senseless killings so we take it to the Lord.
Amen…no matter how hard I can’t ever understand senseless violence. It is so painful to watch people hurt other people without cause or remorse.
Hey am so sorry to hear that my heart goes out to the people of Boston and USA as a country , tragedy is never a good thing to go through.. i wish people would just understand that violence is never the answer…. and it’s at times like this we learn the gravity of always letting those we love and care for that we do and on that note i think i should thank you for always posting this awesome blogs if you ever feel unappreciated always know that you have a friend in me who appreciates you and your blogs
