Another morning where we have to come to school and be asked so many questions of “why” that are so hard to answer. Tragedy struck again, and as we face the confused faces of our little ones today, we try to put into words what is so hard to understand ourselves. What do we say to them? I don’t know if there ever is a right answer…
On my run this morning there was a beautiful sunrise over our little town in Ohio, and I couldn’t help but think and pray for those who lost their lives, and the families of those affected. The sunrise reminded me that everyday is a new one and a new chance for God to show us the true wonders and GOOD things in this world. THAT is what we must remind our kids of. The good things and the good people.
Mr. Rogers says it best. All of those who are flocking to help and assist those in need, we recognize them. In times like these, we are reminded how resilient and united we Americans are. Let’s remember that, not the terrible people who committed this act.
Well said!
