Today 3 sleepy kids had to wake up, eat breakfast, brush their teeth, and get dressed for school, Today I packed 3 lunches and slipped a backpack on 2 little arms and helped 2 others out the door, I hugged and kissed all 3 of them and told them I love them just like I do every day, but today I stopped. as Peyton’s eyes met mine, I went there… just for a moment.. because it was impossible not to. I thought about I’m sure what all mother’s of school aged children (especially sweet faced 1st graders like my precious Peyton Grace) have thought about over the past few days. I thought about what it would have been like to say, "I love you" and watch her hop off to school and have her never come back. I went there and then I quickly left because the thought is too much too bear and that's no place to dwell.
This world is not our home! Praise the Lord at that news! This world is corrupt. It is littered with people who do not honor God. Who choose to say he doesn't exist. Those who close their eyes to the truth of Him. That is the reality of this place.
Evil abounds, but you know what? So does goodness, kindness, mercy, love, peace. Find Jesus my 4 sweet babies. He will show you the way to live in this world. He will guide you when you face tragedies that rock your very core as this has mine. In the world we live in, Jesus is all that makes sense.
