Heartbreak

This weekend has been hard.  Friday morning at school I learned about the shootings in Connecticut.  When I arrived home that afternoon I logged onto the internet to read about it in detail.

I wish I could un-read it all.

I don't think any parent can hear about something like this and not imagine it being their own child.  No elementary school teacher can keep from imagining the horror of what must have happened inside those classrooms.   

The only comfort I have found this weekend has come from two pictures.  The first is of Jesus tenderly embracing a small child. I love this!

The second is of a classroom of sweet children with Jesus in their midst.  I have to believe he was there with them.
