i have found myself with a lump in my throat + a tear in my eye for the last couple of days.
the tragic shooting in connecticut is so incredibly devastating.
those precious children, courageous teachers + all of the innocent families who are left behind.
it seriously breaks my heart over + over + over imagining how someone could do something so awful to such perfect little beings.
i don’t think we will every truly know the why’s behind all of it, but i know without a doubt that heavenly father will bless these families.
he is mindful of our every need + will never leave our side.
the gospel is very real + it is extremely reassuring in trying times like these.
i know, without a doubt, that these little angels are in a better place.
jon has encouraged me to look for the positive.
to find ways in my own life to appreciate motherhood on a deeper level.
to be a little more patient, a little more kind + to be sure that jonah always knows how much i love him.
it is my prayer that we will all find the peace + comfort we need in the hard times to come.

these newborn pictures came to mind when i heard the song for day number two.
the older jonah gets, the more precious these pictures become.
i have a hard time remembering him ever being this little. it goes by so quickly.
i am most grateful for the light that he brings into my life each + every day.
song for day two //
away in a manger.
