I have spent most of today trying not to cry in front of my kids, as I just can't find words to explain why mommy is sad.
A friend said it best today, "I don't have the answers to gun control, violence in America, mental health access and resources, etc. I will offer this - practice and teach compassion and humanity and kindness. It may help someone who desperately needs it."
I pray that something can be done to stop the senseless gun violence in America and the world. I've signed a lot of petitions and written to my representatives and hope we can work for change.
I thought I'd share a few things I found to lift my spirits today.
Here are a couple of links that will help you keep the faith

ReplyDeleteI am unable to watch or read the news today, it is too painful. Thank you for posting links to photos that demonstrate that love and goodness still do exist. It it gives me hope for our poor world.
It is so hard to believe that these killings go on and on. Terrifying, saddening, mystifying. Our thought go to those bereaved and traumatised families.
