Good morning Sean. The sun did come up again today though many wished that it hadden't. And though I often reflect in my heart the beauty of things that you write, I think now that this is perhaps the most important things I've ever read from you.
37-years ago I lost a 6-month old son and shook my hands at the sky and cursed my Creator asking "why." I can in some way empathize with the parents, families and friends of these little girls. There are knots in my stomach and pain in my soul!
Thank you for covering all of the bases in your prayer and conveyed the emotion, pain and doubt felt by so many. We ALL add and extend our prayers of hope and that our Father will reveal Himself in meaningful ways first, to those who love these souls and then to the rest of us who wonder why.
Oh Sean, what a heartfelt prayer you have lifted! Thank you! Sadly, in these unimaginable times, it’s hard to know what to pray . Like you prayed, “ maybe on the final day it will all make sense “ . God Bess every child, family, pet, and each and every rescue individual affected by this horrendous event Amen
Amen, Sean.. I’m a believer, I have taught Sunday School for many, many years, I have sat under great Bible teachers forever….. and even I find myself looking to heaven and screaming “WHY?!!”
Yet, as you say…. I know that one day, when the veil is lifted….. I will find the answers.
My mother in law was led by the Spirit when she did not use the free tickets to the circus and kept her very disappointed family home They were very poor. Her family quit complaining the next day, when they heard the news reporting of the Hartford, Conn circus fire, on this day in 1942, that killed at least 167 and injured over 700. Her family stopped complaining.
Here's another TX gal ...just up the road a piece from this tragic event....it's so hard to understand and even harder to bear when it hits home. Not me personally, but a dear friend, has lost a family of 4, including two children, 13 and 8. The father has been found, the mother and kids are still missing....
We all in Texas have been traumatized and in continual mourning. I can hardly bear to see any more coverage, yet I have to continue to watch, like a vigil. It's the least I can do for those families. A plea to St. Jude yesterday for one life spared please, and a girl is found alive clinging to the top of a cypress in Center Point, 20 miles away. There is always hope to cling to.
Another Texan. My heart is breaking. I’ve been on that road many times. I don’t know why I constantly want to know more about this. I spent an hour on FB reading the stories, something I never do. It is just unimaginable.
I will share this prayer with my friends and family.
God created everything but Himself. Sometimes He pisses us off… then we remember Who’s in charge and realize once again that we cannot understand all things anywhere even remotely nearly the same way that He does. He’s God and we’re not. ❤️

Sean, you did indeed cover all the bases in your prayer. I join you in a community of believers, where Christ is present.✝️
“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18 : 20) 🙏
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
And let our cry come to you
Thank you for sharing what surely wrenched your gut to write.

Lean not to your own understanding.

Matt, thanks for sharing a slice of life from your family.
'Maybe on that final day it will all make sense...".
[from Texas] In Jesus' Name. Amen.
I felt this prayer with all my being. Amen
Thank you, Sean. This Texas gal needed to hear just that.
Same for this Texas girl.

We don’t use the word beseech much. But sometimes it’s the only right word in a moment. Amen, Sean.
I will lift up my eyes to the hills----from whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2
Amen and Amen
This Texan thanks you for these words.
Bless you.
Amen, amen. I pray this from the bottom of my broken heart 💔 🙏
Amen and amen
