I guess we never really know how a day that begins gloriously beautiful will end up like...
Do we?
Nothing quite like watching a real tragedy unfold~ Sure does have a way of whipping one's life into focus...
Doesn't it?
All the things I thought were troubles in my life yesterday morning didn't even cross my mind by the time I crawled into bed last night. I fell asleep thanking God for his protection for my beautiful family and for ALL those
OTHER THINGS
I forget to thank Him for
almost every day...
Because I live in Oklahoma there isn't a week that goes by that I'm not in or around the Oklahoma City Memorial near our downtown. Although it's a place of reflection,calm and peace today, forever etched in my mind is how on April 19, 1995, our Alfred P. Murrah Building was totally destroyed by a truck bomb and how two deranged killers shattered the lives of many of our men, women and children.
Then of course there was 911...
More death, dying and profound loss.
Today my thoughts and prayers are with the people of Boston as well as
those visiting Massachusetts from other cities, towns and countries. Like you, my heart breaks over the injuries and deaths...
I pray God creates something beautiful out of the ashes...
May God help us.
May God help us all.
Love to you...
