Last week when I found out that little children had been targeted and killed in CT I wanted to go to my 7 year old son's school and pick him up. He had just had his Christmas concert the day before so I kept imagining those kids...
So yesterday at work I found out that our high school had a gun threat...the police brought in a metal detector and my 8th grader was not to take her purse or her backpack to school today. I prayed for guidance because I didn't know whether I should send her or not. As I read through Psalms 51 and 52, I felt that I wasn't reading in the right place, but then came to Psalm 53:5 "They were overwhelmed with dread when there was nothing to dread." She went to school with just a quiver of nerves...but I have been telling all three of my children that I love them, everyday, for the past few months. I just wanted to tell everyone how important that is.
