Becoming a mom in the last month has brought new highs (joy, excitement, anticipation...) and new lows (fear on a level I've never known before). I'm so very grateful for the gospel, it truly is my saving grace!

I am so afraid myself, and worried about the coping skills we see on a daily basis. Even by people at the grocery store. IT's as if no one knows how to say excuse me, or appologize for cutting anyone off in public. It seems every man for himself, and no one stops to consider how important it is to be kind to your fellow human being. You are absolutely right though, you cannot shelter them, and cannot be afraid of those who make our lives scary or violent. I agree, children need to know that their spirit, and soul will have to find rest somehow, and they have the opportunity in this life. Although there is an unsurmounting display of violence in this world, there is beauty all around, and if you see it, they will see it through your eyes as well. I suggest turning off the TV and saying a "requiem," or "Pie Jesu" for those who need to find their loved one's peace. And grant their spirits rest after their lives were taken without respect or regard for others around. You are an incredible mother, and the task is daunting and you do it with Grace.The MacMizzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07185701699733156859noreply@blogger.com
