Prayers for Newtown

Oh, how my heart is broken and aches for the victims, families, and school affected by the shootings in Newtown, CT.  I have held Jude just a little tighter the past few days and not failed to be thankful for the chance to do so.  A lot of emotions have rose up in me since last Friday.  Coming from the mother and teacher part of me, I have felt overwhelmingly sad.  In times like these only God can give the comfort and peace that is needed.  Sending much love, thoughts, and prayers your way, Newtown.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted

and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34:18
