Dear SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY,
I do not believe there is one person in this United States of America and around the world who has not shed tears for your school Family.
There was a true movie many, many years ago where three brothers died on the same ship, I believe, and at the end of the movie they showed the three brothers saluating as they disappeared in the clouds of heaven. They say, this movie caused so much sadness they had to stop showing it.
Twenty precious babes waving good-bye as they skipped toward heaven with Jesus, their principle and teachers leading them would flood the movie show with tears.
I was praying early this morning and these scripture came to me....
(28)"LORD HELP!" they cried in their trouble; and he saved them from their distress.
(29)He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves.
(30)What a blessing was the stillness as he brought them safely into harbor.
~PSALM 107: 28-30 NLV
What a storm hit you yesterday. I pray you have found that safe harbor in Jesus where you can stay calm, think, reflect, and find some sleep. We who live so far from you, will hold you up in prayer, while your neighbors and friends protect you and feed you.
lifting you in prayer
Simply Debbie

Debbie- I remember reading that story about the 3 brothers that perished. I believe there was a 4th son and the military excused him from the service so that the parents would still have one son living.
I see those 20 babies being shepherded by their teachers as they ran into the arms of God. God bless those empty arms left on Earth- xo Diana
I didn't know what to expect when I started making the rounds tonight. It seems so surreal and most unbearable but you have lifted my heart with your beautiful words, and I thank you. take care.
Beautiful scriptures Debbie... My daughter is a teacher, and I work with young children myself; and this tragic incident has absolutely broken my heart. Among my prayers, I ask God to turn our legislators' attention not just to gun control, but to the issue of mental health.. I've been saying this as soon as I'd first heard of this horrific act. Then this morning I read Morgan Freeman was speaking similarly! My voice might not be heard so readily by our elected officials, but hooray if HIS IS! ~tina
Dear Debbie,
Thank you for saying the things that we are all thinking in your beautiful and eloquent words.
Blessings,
Erin
Amen Debbie - I don't know what else to say - it is so sad. sandie
