Yesterday Mike received our tentative itinerary to Indonesia. I am so very excited but my happiness is clouded by sadness as 28 people (mostly young children) lost their lives yesterday in a school shooting in CT. It creates such fear and angst to live here, to travel and to move to another Country- nowhere seems safe. I question if this is really hell on Earth? Why and how could these terrible things happen? And why would it be God's will?
I have been generously reminded to be a beacon of light- lift others up who are faltering. As tough as that is, it's really my only option for my children and others around me. It's my duty and contribution.
I also, saw a saying from Fred Rogers (Mister Rogers, an amazing man, may he rest in peace) “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' - I need to encourage that with my children and be a "helper" myself.
Today I would like to ask God help these families who have been affected by this terrible tragedy and please, please protect us from such evil!!
