What a shocking day!
Someone forwarded me an email today with disturbing photos from Russia. From kids being carried away by their parents, to people crying after being reunited with their kids, to wounded children with only their undies on - it was such a troubling scene. Then there were photos of those who died - which broke my heart to pieces that it brought tears to my eyes.
My heart went out to those children who will probably suffer the trauma from being held captive for days! Parents will probably dread the moment they leave their kids to school, not knowing if they'll come home safe after class. I cried for the kids and for their parents because I can feel their pain deep in my heart.
What is happening to our world today? Why does it have to come to this - violence against young and innocent children? What harm have they done?!
Add to this the news that there was an accident at San Mateo Bridge yesterday that threw two kids (one is four years old, and the other, three) out of the car into the open sea! It was such a bizarre accident. The three year old kid was rescued alive but in critical condition. The other one wasn't as fortunate as he still hasn't been found. For those children to be thrown out of the car, the impact must've been great and they must not be wearing seatbelts! What about car seats? Have they been sitting on one? I didn't think so....
I just become very emotional when children are involved. I will say my silent prayer for them tonight. Please include them in your prayers as well.
Two days to go....
