In honor of the injured, killed and families of Littleton, Colorado.
 |
On April 20, 1999, tragedy struck again at one of our nation's schools. I am asking each and every one of you who visits my site to stop for just a minute and say a PRAYER for the people of Littleton, Colorado.
To The Students, Teachers and Families of Littleton:
May you find strength in the many prayers that I'm sure are being said each and every day for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am sure that the nation is mourning with you at this terrible time. There are many of us who care about what happened and have been affected by this tragedy.
We can't foresee the turning of the tide
When problems beset us and tears are cried.
Sometimes life deals from the bottom of the deck,
Filling us with worry and leaving us a wreck.
The enemy seeks to devour and destroy,
Using deceptions to eliminate our joy.
While walking through the valley, our heads hung low,
The mountain top seems so high, our footsteps slow.
How many times have we traveled this road
To battle the frustrations of troubles bestowed?
Yet when we come to our darkest hour
God demonstrates His infinite power.
It doesn't matter how bad things might seem,
He always comes through, our faith to redeem.
God will not fail us in our times of pain.
He'll never forsake us, by our side He'll remain.
So when we find ourselves at a total loss
Or when the valley seems too wide to cross,
Just remember you're in His love and care,
Look over your shoulder, He's always there!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you're part of My plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that He wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
When you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years,
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o're,
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb,
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too,
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night...."My day was not in vain".
And now I am contented....that my life was worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
