Silence


As are many around the world, I am still trying to wrap my head around the senseless tragedy in Connecticut. I am thinking of the fallen, the grieving and the surviving children everywhere who attend school every day. I think it’s important to find comfort in the word of God. To the grieving, take comfort in the fact that God is taking those children in his arms and raising them up as we speak. They will never have to know hurt or pain again. To the children around the world I say be not afraid, for the kingdom of God is still among you. For every bad guy, there are thousands and thousands of loving hearts who would have gladly given their lives for each of you


Silence
(In memory of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims)

Their silent hearts no longer race,

The pitch of death brought on this place.

Where once their dreams did sit akin,

Their hands are now joined by sin.

Lo, these violent hate-punctured souls,

Giving new meaning to evils and woes.

Oh, for the children who witness and weep,

Pray them joyful, happy to sleep.

He will take them by His might,

Illuminate their gloom with light.

He will christen them His own,

Beautiful angels the world be known.
