My heart hurts and my soul weeps for those tragically murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday. I was subbing when I heard the news. We were switching classes and the teacher from next door came over and told me that there had been a school shooting.
At the time I didn't know where this happened, how many lives were lost, or how old the victims were. It wasn't until after school, when I got home, that I was able to turn on the T.V. and see for myself what was happening.
I cried for a long time because all I could think about was what it would have been like to have witnessed seeing the terror on those poor children's faces or being one of the heroic teachers who also lost their lives that day. Just watching the news footage and seeing some of the photos taken of those horrified children leaving the school left me in such a bad place. It scares me out of my wits to know that people are capable of this kind of madness.
All we can do at this time is turn to God for guidance. Out of this terrible tragedy, it fills me with joy to know that those little ones are now with God and Jesus in heaven. They are safe now. Nothing can ever hurt them again.
May all the lives lost that day rest in peace.
