Early this morning while watching Good Morning America on ABC. Laura Spencer suggested the country participate in 26 Acts of Kindness for each of the victims of
Sandy Hook Elementary.
I thought it was a wonderful way to show how we can come together as humans in honor of those who lost there lives in such a tragic way.
Please make sure you take time and read this entire post.
And, although we are all God's children, the small ones, the new ones to this life which represent a new beginning a new world to come, are here for all of us to acknowledge and protect as " the morals of our society, are in how we treat and protect the children." From what happened in NewTown it somehow doesn't ring true. It seems to be the way of this new world we live in, this new place where a lot these days, doesn't make sense. But tragedies are everywhere, more babies it seems have died this year of 2012 from violence then any other year I can seem to find.
Yet it's clear now places in our country still exist, where the innocent, those who trust the most, those who still want to believe and live as if the world still holds true, that evil doesn't or wouldn't touch. We can no longer afford to believe that way, now with this sad tragedy, can not wear blinders, no longer think that there is such a place so magical, it's untouched by such evil.
Those tiny little lives are changing things across the country which makes me believe there lives were not lost in vain. Let us not just make it a moment of tragedy to be left behind in a month. Let us make it really count. Let it make history, not in the tragedy of the moment, let it make history for the fact they lived, no matter how short the time. They lived, and by doing so they made this our America a better country forever.
In this senseless moment I have decided for the first time to work with color. To knit with the colors of the rainbow and make a blanket. And to work on what my 26 Acts of Kindness will be....in honor of those listed below.
May God hold them tightly and their parents even tighter as they begin a long journey for there own peace. God Bless the children below...and there heroic adults.
