An Open Letter for Newtown, CT


An Open letter to Newtown, CT

Dear Newtown:

Millions around the world are thinking of you and praying for you in these days.  This is a great time of loss.  Most of us can’t imagine what you might feel and we won’t pretend to do so.  

We will not offer rote words, for words fail us all on a day like today.

What we do offer you is love.  Though we've never met, we still reach out with our hearts and our prayers in great love for the loss you feel.

-To say we pray for you – we do.

-To say we are with you in your grief – we are.

-If we could, we would take your pain away, bring back your loved ones, and reset the clock to a more peaceful time before this day.

In the middle of your grief, may you find comfort in the arms of your family, close friends and in the God of your understanding.

May His peace, His presence and His sustainability empower you for such a time as this.


With Love
