Putting things in perspective

There will be no discussion of weight loss today.  Today there was a terrible massacre at a CT elementary school. 27 dead 18 of which were children. He went in started in the office & then went right to the Kindergarden class room & fished there.  I am sick, I've been crying.  DS1 is in Kindergarden & I can't imagine what they families are going through.  Those poor kids & families all looking forward to the Holidays.  Probably already purchased presents & have them wrapped under the tree. :'-(  Every time my DS1 today says something about how excited his is for Christmas & I think how that is all those students were probably thinking about.  What do those families do now? Return the presents, pack them up.  I would probably go one of two ways.  Either insist on nothing being touched & everything to stay just as it was forever tree up, presents and all.  Or the other extreme not being able to enjoy Christmas or decorate because it reminds me to much.   Praise God they are in Heaven & are being comforted by the most high.  

You may say how can God let this happen. Well that is where we are blessed w/ the amazing thing called Free Will.  He didn't want to force his creating to love him he wanted them to do it on there own. Just like we do w/ our SO we don't want to force someone to love us if they really aren't there. So his gift a free will is not to tie us down to give us freedom.   So I can guarantee that God tried to stop what happened today but he can't force anyone to do or not do anything.  God will be there for the families that turn to him.  I am trying to find peace in knowing the shooter will pay for his crimes for all of eternity in Hell & the children are already healed & loving Heaven.  It is the families that are left behind that I hurt & cry for.  They pain they have to deal w/ to go on w/o there loved one.

It makes all the things I've been stressing about seem so small & unimportant. My weight, my job, money.  I rather be poor & be home w/ my kids making the most of every moment.
