The sadness that has happened today

To say that today has not been a say day would be highly incorrect. Starting with the heartbreaking event that occurred this morning in Orlando, Florida. A senseless, hateful, heartless, cowardly murder happened this morning. Leaving 50 people killed and 3 injured. Hearing about his just breaks my heart to no end. To quote a line from a popular children's book" A person is a person no matter how small." -Horton the elephant from Horton hears a who by Dr. Seuss .That line is true in real life. A person is a person it doesn't matter what there status is in life. NO ONE ever has the right to take that life away. They are God's creation, his masterpiece and most of all his children. My heart goes out to there loved ones as they are dealing with this horrific and disgusting crime. To say that it was a hate crime would be a complete understatement. There are just no right words to describe how  I feel about this. Other than it was a truly evil act and it just saddens me. The person that committed this doesn't deserve my words nor my sympathy. But it is not place to judge him. I will leave that for God. As I know this breaks his hear as well. I will pray for his soul, I will pray for his family, I will pray for the friends and family of those that were murdered and injured. As I can not even imagine what they are going through right now.  

The other sad event that has happened, is that just recently my husband found out that his cousin has passed away this morning from a heart attack. We are currently trying to figure out how we are going to make it to the funeral when it happens. I am just really praying that we can, because i know Jason wants to go and i think he should. I just pray we can find a way to make it. So there has been a lot of sadness today. If today has taught me anything is that life is very precious and is to be treasured. It is priceless.Today is a good day to look at the positive aspects of today, and try not to focus on the negative. There is always something to be thankful for and there is always a positive for every negative that happens you just need to look for it. I dont know the reason for all of this, but I do know that there is a positive and silver lining for all of it. That is what i am going to focus on right now. So as I end this post I am going to leave you with a couple of songs and a bible verses that I fall back on when all of this happens.
Psalm 34:18-20
The Lord is close to the broken hearted and rescues those whose spirits are crushed. The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time. For the Lord protects the bones of the righteous; not one of them is broken.
Isaiah 25:8-9
He will swallow up death forever! The Sovereign Lord witll wipe away all tears. He will remove all insults and mockery against his land and people. The Lord has spoken! 9. In that day people will proclaim, This is our God! We trusted him, and he saved us! This is the Lord, in whom we trusted. Let us rejoice in the salvation he brings! 
Well that is all for now.
