I DON’T KNOW WHY
Today I bought a Christmas CD by Rod Stewart. I love Christmas music. For so many years I heard it wherever I went. I know so many of the songs by heart. However today when I listened to the music I was crying –
crying for the children who were murdered and will never celebrate Christmas again
crying for the siblings who probably don’t understand where their sibling went
crying for families who lost a loved one
crying for families who will never enjoy Christmas in the same way ever again.
crying for children’s loss of innocence.
crying for children who will have a hard time feeling safe ever again
crying for parents who will struggle to go on because they have other children to care for
crying for the world because of all the violence, wars and hatred
crying for myself because I feel so helpless and also so vulnerable
CRYING BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF WARS AND SICKNESS
CRYING BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH HATRED IN THE WORLD SO MANY PEOPLE CANNOT ENJOY THEIR LIVES
CRYING BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE MEAN
CRYING BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVEN’T GOT ENOUGH FOOD TO EAT
CRYING BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE NO SHELTER
I HOPE AND PRAY THAT ONE DAY THERE WILL BE PEACE AND LOVE IN THE WORLD
HUG SOMEONE TODAY
CALL SOMEONE TODAY
TELL SOMEONE YOU LOVE THEM
USE ONLY SWEET WORDS
LET SOMEONE IN LINE BEFORE YOU IF THEY HAVE ONLY A FEW ITEMS
SMILE A LOT
SHOW PEOPLE YOU CARE
BE NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT DOESN’T COST ANYTHING!!!!!
MAKE YOUR CORNER OF THE WORLD WARM AND COZY
THANK YOU!
*HUGS* you so tightly!

Yes it is a sad Christmas for many this year. I am still thinking about the people who lost everything in the hurricane as well. They need to rebuild too. Sad.

I used major self control at our Christmas Program last night as several of our “angels” and “shepherds” are the same age as those already in Heaven. Sad for those left behind.

I totally understand. I also am having to explain things to a 10 yr old grandson. My daughter says the school where Zach goes and she works has the same type security system at the entrance doors, and that man got through that. We are just letting Zach know he is loved and safe. My thoughts and prayers are with those who lost loved ones in this.

Ginger — I feel with you, such deep grief in my heart. Want to find ways to stop this violence. Take guns out of reach of children/youth to protect the innocent. Crying with you.

Certain songs will bring tears to my eyes too. I know what you mean about crying for those children and their families, for all the families affected by this horrible act. I have been crying each night. It only takes one person to come in and destroy so many lives. If that man was so intent on killing himself why didn’t he just do that, why did he have to take so many people with him?
