weeping and great mourning

  "When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi.   Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: "A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more."   Matthew 2:16-18 (NIV)


                         This too is a time of weeping and great mourning - won't you join me as I look up for all those who are grieving in Newtown, Conn. tonight.

    It is heartbreaking to watch the affected families. I pray for them that they have the strength to survive this horror. May the love and care of all of us help them. I am sure those little angels are in a heavenly place.

    As we look to the east, with hearts heavy and broken, we can only hope that this is the last time for us to lose our children like this. So beautifully shared today, Debbie.

    My thoughts are also with the children at the school and how they will cope in the future.
