TotD: Life is Precious

I can't help but make today's post about the horrific event that took place in Colorado last night. The loss of life, those innocent people, the terror and pain inflicted- I can't even begin to express my sorrow for everyone. I am stunned by the idea that there is no place safe from such violence even in such a great nation; it is truly devastating.

Today's thought of the day:  Please be kind to each other; life is too precious.

Life is so very precious,
Please hold your loved ones dear.
Last night has proved beyond a doubt 
That evil's always near.


Please pray for all the people,
Who've lost so much today.
Let's all pray for the injured,
Cuz, on all our minds, they weigh.


Senseless were his actions,
Terror was his aim,
And for this loss of safety,
We have only him to blame.


He's taken all he can from us,
But I'll not give him fame,
He wants to be remembered?
Well, let's all forget his name.


Remember instead the love we share
for victims of such crimes
and hold hands, say prayers together,
in such dark and shocking times.


The light defeats the darkness,
And he'll cause us no more sorrow,
For together we shall stand and see,
The brightness of tomorrow.

Praying for all of the families and friends of lost loved ones today that they may heal and find God's peace.
