Tough time for people this time of year...
Suicide is one of those things that sometimes just pops up from what seems like nowhere... So sad that folks seem to feel so little connection to our Heavenly Father than this is their preferred recourse to sadness and being overwhelmed... truly a sad, sad reality of our times.
May the Lord bless us each to be more aware and vigilant of those around us, stopping long enough to offer a kind word or thoughtful deed. Help us to be more like Christ and aware of suffering wherever it exists.
