Reality.

This morning I got up on time and
everything was going
exactly as I would have it go
on a perfect early morning.

I had read something that had just
encouraged my little heart---had me so full
of hope and praise. It was just a few minutes
after that that I received a phone call with some
terrible news.
Someone I've known most of my life...
...her two grandchildren and daughter-in-law
were murdered.

Those babies...who could do something like this?
Such wickedness.


You hear about this stuff on the news all the time.
But when it's someone you know....it's overwhelming.
I cannot imagine what she is going through this morning.
My heart just breaks for her.
Every thing seems inadequate.
I think of that verse that says
"weep with those who weep."
Isn't that the most appropriate thing right now?
Anything else would seem ridiculous.
I am just praying that God will give my friend
that peace that passes understanding.
He is the God of all comfort.
Who else could help in a situation like this?
