Broken hearted....

Today my heart is broken.

I feel the sliver shard ache of a heart splintered by the news that a friend has made a series of mistakes that will have serious life consequences.

Consequences that will involve the loss of freedom to incarceration, the loss of a child to the Department of Human Resources, as well as the possible loss of their home.

The tears have come and gone; but the sorrow lingers and the sliver shard ache of my heart brings me to my knees in prayer.

Merciful Father,
do you feel how my heart splinters
and my soul sorrows for the brokenness of your children?

Forgive me Father.

Today I cannot find the words to praise you.

I cannot find the words to thank you.

I have only one question Lord.

How much longer must we all suffer?
