How can we best love here?


A six year old in our small town was brutally murdered on Monday.

She was beautiful in every way.

The grief here is overwhelming.

My sister offered this bible verse to console me.

Matthew 18:10 ¨Let it not seem to you that one of these little ones is of no value; for I say to you that in heaven their angels see at all times the face of my Father in heaven.¨

Im so sorry for the family and friends of the beautiful little girl.

I dont know what to say. While I was doing my post, simultaneously, you were posting yours.

This says to me that there is more to "Love" and our "existence" than this particular earthly existence.

I love you Marilyn Ruth, and pray for your comfort and that of your community.

Community (even internet community) is very important in this life, and in healing the bad stuff.

Peace
Keren

In the face of such heartbreak and tragedy, all we can do is turn to love even more. I'm sending prayers of love and strength to the family. May angels surround them.

Now she is in loving arms, never to hurt again. She is with the angels and she sees the face of God.
