Broken Hearts

The best way to deal with a broken heart

is through a strong and faith-filled spirit.

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit. (NKJV)

...and from the bible in Basic English:

The Lord is near the broken-hearted;
he is the saviour of those whose spirits
are crushed down.

Father be near to the families who are going through indescribable grief today. May they find themselves surrounded by Your arms and Your comforting presence.

Broken Hearts

I am so saddened by the news out of Sandy Hook School - Newtown, Conn. today. This is utter craziness and utter evil - there is no logic to shootings like this. There is no way to explain such senseless violence - it is beyond evil.

• Hold your children and grandchildren close - give them extra love today

• Pray for the families that have been so horribly traumatized and victimized by this tragedy

• Do something to remember the lost - maybe turn off the Christmas lights for a night, or teach  your children how to love and be kind to others.

God bless you all tonight - hold your loved ones close

He heals the brokenhearted

And binds up their wounds

Psalm 147:3
