and oh we grieve...
we ache...
we fear...
we doubt...
we curse...
we question...
oh, how we question...
but,
in the hazy distance....
there is this flicker.
we KNOW it is there...we don't want to look, but we can't help ourselves...it seems so out of focus right now....
but it IS there.
this flicker.
this light.
this luminosity.
this LOVE.
HIS love.
HIS big huge LOVE.
and we know it.
and we trust in it.
and we LOVE in it.
and we rest in it.
i pray that we open the church in our hearts,
and grieve and pray and search out the little flicker of light,
for all the little students and teachers of the world.

precious post, erin. you're so right!
Beautiful post, Erin. We need to be God's love to the hurting in our corner of the world. We don't know whose life would be changed by a kind word, hug and listening ear. I'm praying that those devastated by this tragedy will still feel surrounded by God's love through ordinary people.
So beautiful my friend. Grieving, praying too.
Beautiful images and comforting words.
This is a hard one for all of us...how and why are the questions that keep popping up...
Rest in Me, my child...forgetting the worries of the world.
Hope you are well my friend..your Christmas home is stunning. Just popped by to wish you a blessed Christmas. xxoo

The only comfort is in knowing these little lambs are with The Shepard. Beautiful and meaningful post.
These families lives will never be the same but I hope they turn there grief into something positive someday.... it will take time and compassion from others to make that happen.
Beautiful post very thoughtful.
Peace be with you.
