Heartbroken

I was watching the news so I could hear one story and one story only. The Woman in Tennessee who killed her husband. I thought nothing of it at first. Then I gave her a good look. She's doesn't look like that kind of person. She looked normal. She was a mother, a wife ( not to mention a preachers wife) and she looked like any other person you would see in your everyday life and not give a second thought to. But then they said that she was a regular Church goer. I got to thinking. That could be anybody. Anybody at all. But it makes me deeply sad that this had to happen. She had three adorable little girls. I thought about these girls for the rest of the afternoon. I felt so heartbroken for them. They would have to grow up with out a mom or a dad. They would have to grow up knowing that their mommy killed their daddy. They may not know it for awhile but they will eventually.

That got me thinking about my own family. We are pretty private about our personal feelings. But I don't think that any of us would go to such extremes as these. My dad is a preacher, so there fore my mom is a preachers wife. And my family also has three kids in it. Not to mention three girls like this family. It is kinda scary the resemblance. My dad is also a preacher for the C of C, just like this family was. It was really sad to see those kid's future and lives change forever it was really sad. Her kids are Patricia (8) Mary Alice (6) and Breana (1). So young, SO young!!

Then after a read Erin's Blog it got me thinking. What if somebody in MY church was feeling those same things right now? Would I know that? Could I help them in anyway? Well I would never know this because many people are very private about their personal feelings. It is sad that people feel this was, I have even felt this way!! Numerous times. It feels like a bottle is about to explode. But now I have somebody to talk to. She is a Godsend. God knew I needed her. And I am thankful he gave her to me. She is a blessing to everybody that meets her.

So if you are at home and your kids are awake. Tell them that you love them and give them a HUGDE hug. And tell them if they ever feel horrible and just want to talk that you will be there for them forever, and listen to whatever they have to say. Let me tell you as a kid that would be Awesome for you to do. Give your kids their trust and they will be your friends for life.

But tonight say a prayer for the whole Winkler family. Espessically, Patricia, Mary Alice, and Breana.

God bless theses kids and wrap your loving hands around them. Tell them you love them and will never desert them. ~Amen
