Lives Could Flash Before Us

          I usually don't write to talk about the news or match up with it but I had my eyes opened lately and it hurts. We never know when a person will come into a school to hurt people in any ways that person can. I know here lately that my niece's Jr. High had to move to the high school because of a threat. Honestly, I didn't think anything of it till I had a scare near me. I don't think I can say much about the situation but I will say this.
            The person can have a gun or just be under the influence of drugs. It doesn't matter if when outlawed guns because people would find a way to kill if they wanted to do it. They would take enough drugs to think they are strong and can beat people up. If they are mad enough, they can either find a way or make a way. Either way, those people are dangerous and they could be anywhere. They literally are everywhere because of the world we live in. I use to think one of my other jobs were dangerous up til today. I knew I was taken care of children who had already been taken away from their parents and put in the shelter. I knew about the possibility of parents coming for them when they couldn't.
              Now I don't know when and if their parents will come or how they will come. I thought the shelter was a really sad place but at least they were safe for the most part. The children I work with aren't safe all the time. That scares me and breaks my heart. Just seeing the children I work with and getting to know them is sad. They do need help but yet they can't help themselves. I want to help and I am but at the same time it is so hard. How can I be the Light of Jesus to these children and parents? 
              Not only to these children but to the people I really care about. That is what went across my mind today when I was thinking about everything that was going on. What if something went wrong and I got hurt? Would the people I care about and love the most know that I do? We never know when our last day is. We are not suppose to either. I know some of you would say, "That is when we should show love all the time". I know that but we get so caught up in the world. It is strange how people or even little children show us that no matter what we go through, we can get through it with a smile our on face. 
             I have seen children in the hospital with smiles on their faces. I have heard stories from teenagers that have been in a shelter about how they love to share the Good News about God and would share it with everybody if she could. I've even seen children with a smile on their face when things in their lives are going out of control. I have even seen the devil in children's eyes and I am not lying about that part. Yet, the Love of God can conquer all.
