The children were killed

We all dream of working from home and have the freedom to earn our living from the kitchen table, a home office, the lounge or even sitting under a duvet on a day when it's cold and miserable. There is however one real drawback and that is the exposure to what's happening on the TV that may be nearby and depending on the channel of your choice, you could be "drawn into" developments, like this terrible tragedy at the school in Newtown, Connecticut earlier today.
In fact, earlier today I heard there was a school shooting, but having just woken up, the sketchy detail slipped past me and I changed to a channel with music, no news. Later on we went for a walk and popped into Winn Dixie for bread and milk and a quick chat to the friendly staff, to arrive home and seeing the horror of what actually happened earlier on. That was was about 5 hours ago and I have since then felt numb, unable to really get into anything and hoping I make sense as I'm writing here, as I am so very, very sad.... Seeing the pictures of some of the parents and the horror on their faces....
To you, the reader, thanks for letting me pour out my soul.... do you mind to let me say..... let's make a new commitment to show a bit more love, a bit more patience, a bit more understanding and maybe do a random act of kindness more often. Does someone in our world perhaps need a word of kindness, a hug or just a smile...?
I wish you peace and love and thanks again for bearing with me... I trust, I know and I believe the peace of God can and will heal the many wounds that are so raw right at this moment.
