Blue and Pink Ribbons

I was not sure whether to start my series of blogs with this or end with it. I decided to end with it -since I would not make it through the pictures of my kids after typing this. These are pink and blue ribbons that Nathan, Cheyenne and I tied on the trees around our home. Our community is in mourning for this family that lives among us. They just lost all three of their children in a tragic car accident. This is beyond my comprehension and my heart absouletly aches for this family. I can't imagine anything worse than this. It felt good to tie these bows and to drive around and see all the families that have. It is an amazing sight in an amazing community. In these types of situations, we all want to do something and so this was our way of showing the family that we care and have them in our thoughts and prayers. I am grateful for the opportunity to have played a small part in this. I know that God will comfort this family and carry them (literally) through this tragedy. I also know that they will be reunited with their children again after their journey's here are through. How grateful I am for this knowledge! But boy it only brings a small amount of comfort to my aching heart - I can't even imagine what these parents are going through. It is my prayer that they will find peace and comfort through our Heavenly Fathers bountiful grace and love.
