Yes, Cindy, there are so many hurting souls out there. And we pray…..we pray for the victims of this tragedy, including the shooters’ family…and we pray for our children as they try to navigate through this fallen world we find ourselves living in. May we accept your challenge…and model love in action…to our children, to ALL the children of the world.

As a parent I struggle when tragedies such as the Virginia Tech one occurs. How do I talk to my children? How do I protect them? Where do I tell them God is in all of this?

Thank you for this. I needed to read it today.

Cindy,
Oh, how we need to see things through God’s eyes and not our own! Parents really need to take responsibility in “training up their children…”

Thank you for some great insight.

Blessings to you!

I am so glad I can learn from examples before my kids get old enough to realize that their world is not all sunshine, roses, and rain puddles. Thank you for the insight.

It is amazing how much violence we Americans tolerate on TV, in the video games and such. I remember trying to discuss with my kids 9-11. I recall my parents trying to discuss with me the assassinations of Pres. Kennedy and his brother Robert, the murder of John Lennon and others.

As parents we have a tough job and with the way the world is today it isn’t going to be getting any easier.

Thank you for a good and thoughtful post. Without God, we are surely lost.

ROCK ON SISTER!!!
Okay, I’m over that part now. Thanks. =)

I’m so glad you wrote this. I have a 22 month old who is not ready to watch the news in all its “glory” quite yet, but i have to admit that at 29 years old, I don’t much watch the news myself due to it’s graphic and disheartening nature.

I have never thought of how good (for me, perhaps a peiced together recorded grouping of segments of) news could be for my son, husband and I to periodically view together in the way that you’ve descibed.

It is true that this could be a great way to help our children learn of the effects of violence and even just poor judgement.

Thank you for openning my eye to this.
Lora
