Weighing heavily on my heart, too. Certainly makes you re-prioritize your own life.
We explained to our children what happened this morning and we all prayed for them as a family. My girls are really sensitive to these things, not in a fearful way, but in a "we need to keep praying for them, mom" way...and they do. I'm thankful for those little hearts that hold so much concern for others. The death of a child is one of the things I fear most, and I try to reconcile it in my head knowing that they would be with Jesus and I could take comfort in that (and that, after all, God's only Son died- for ME), but I can't imagine the ache of emptiness it would leave. So horrifying.
Definitely thinking of and praying for all those families involved on all sides of that terrible situation. :(
I was trying to find the smiley that rolls on the floor, but I couldn't, so this shall suffice. :D
) at 1.50, when her party started at 2. So running around trying to wrap her presents, and make sure the favor bags are ready, and the cups/plates/etc. were gathered up, just to get to my mom's house to find out that the guests (We invited all of DD's best friends, two sisters and another girl that are in their group, but only the two sisters could come.), were running a bit late. We had just called the mom, and got no answer, so figured someone/everyone was sick, or something was wrong, and DD had decided to go ahead and open her presents, when my mom glanced out the window and noticed they were there. So girl stuff ensued, Hello Kitty movie watching, and great fun was had by all. :)
