I’ve been struggling these past few days, as I know we all have, to wrap my head around all that has happened. But the more I think about it, it’s just not going to happen.
Our world is no stranger to tragedy.
War.
Natural Disasters.
Disease.
All of these things cause hearts to break, spirits to be dissolved, lives to be devastated.
At times like this, we all look for somewhere to turn. We need answers.
There are none to be had.
So we struggle, each day, to understand, to move on. But as many tears have been shed over the past few days, I still believe there is good in the world.
No.
I know there is good in the world.
It’s easy to ignore it, to get caught up in the evil that seems to lurk in every shadow.
But the light is there.
I see it in the hundreds upon hundreds of people who are wrapping these poor families in their hearts.
I hear it in my son’s laughter.
I feel it in the warmth that envelops me as I’m surrounded by those I love.
I pray for peace. I pray for all of us.
