I have been overwhelmed with sadness for the families that have taken to facebook to share their tragic losses. Not sadden because they are sharing, but that there are so many families with BIG losses. And yet, they are finding the courage to face each day and then to document their journey for others. It occurs to me that the facebook accounts are set up, I'm sure, to keep loved ones in the loop. But then they take on a life of their own with so many people reaching out and praying for these families. It's such an awe inspiring moment for me to witness. I don't know these people that I am praying for, but prayer is universal. God doesn't need us to "know" the people in the prayers we raise up to Him; He hears our prayers and answers. And I believe in the power of prayer. So, I will continue to hit "like" on these stories that touch my heart, pray for their specific needs and be grateful that there is still good in this evil world!
If you would like to follow some of these awe inspiring stories, I have included the links below!
