The tragic shootings in Seal Beach, Ca. struck close to home. Salon Meritage is in a popular business center I've frequented for years. The little boy at the center of the custody battle goes to school in our community. The sole survivor, a 73 yr. old woman whose daughter was killed, has strong ties to the community and staff at church. My hairdresser, who's in a shop directly across from the Salon, says they're "a wreck". We're numb with shock and grief. Things like this devastate so many, for such a long time. Please, please remember them now and after the news reports fade. And that they find their peace in the one called The Comforter, Healer, Redeemer, Restorer.
Abundant Blessings,

It is so tragic and so senseless...Lord wrap your loving arms around this little boy, the families of those who died and the community.
ReplyDeleteI have not been able to stop watching the news about this. It is so tragic and touches so many people. All have and will continue to be in my prayers. Thanks for the post. It makes it so much more personal than the news. It is a little too close to home. Makes me realize how vulnerable we all are to the craziness in this world.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this on the news I was shocked. So sad that so many lives are changed forever in a negative way. God bless them all.

It is just so sad and so senseless; I am sure being so close to it within your community it has to be so devastating trying to make sense of it all. One can only hope people will turn to the only one that can bring hope, peace and comfort to such a situation.

So sad. Hard to understand. Said a prayer for the family and community.
ReplyDeleteLife just isn't fair -- it hurts when tragedies like this happen. What do people do without God to rest upon? I'll be praying for the community and those family members touched by it.
ReplyDeleteI just heard about this on the news....praying for the community and those affected. Why do people have to take this kind of vengence. :(
ReplyDeleteVery tragic. Your friends at Spiritual Sunday will lift up the community in prayer today. May you all experience the peace and healing that only the Saviour can bring.
ReplyDeleteI was so sorry to hear about this tragedy. When I was a kid we used to go to Seal Beach a lot. We lived in Artesia and then Norwalk and Seal Beach was right down the road from there. We hear about tragedies all the time, but when it hits so close to home it always seems worse. Like you, I pray they find peace in the Prince of Peace.

Thank you sweet blogger friends for your thoughtful comments, and especially for your prayers. Such heavy, pressing news makes me weary, and I've found some calming delight (and a bit of distraction)

I lived in Seal Beach while doing grad work at CSULB and could not believe it! Such a quiet community. We have been praying for the families. How tragic.
