In the wake of hurricane Sandy there has been so much news coverage it's been hard to watch so at the risk of sounding insensitive when this has come on the tv I admit I only half listen most of the time. I'm sorry but this year has already been too much...I mean absolutely no disrespect and I pray for all of those who were caught in her path. But last night I was working and half listening when a particular story caught my attention. It was brief but struck me to the core. "Two of the dead are children ripped from their mother's arms when their SUV got caught in storm surge..."
With all the feelings I'm experiencing, with all the pain and deep overwhelming grief that truly only another parent who has lost a child can understand that I've been going through, I cannot fathom what this mother must be going through. I know I personally would not survive it. I didn't catch her name. I'm not even sure if they gave it. But I'm asking that you join me in covering her in heavy prayer. If you are not a Christian please send your good thoughts or whatever it is you can do to help lift this woman, this mother who's children were ripped from her arms and washed away into the ocean waters. Nothing is going to be able to wipe that memory and the accompanying pain away but perhaps overwhelming love can be stronger and MORE overwhelming? It will be comparable to God moving mountains I'm sure...but it's possible. Better yet...pray for nothing short of a miracle that they children somehow survived and are found soon!
My heart aches for her....
