Well it has been a terrible week with the shooting in the news.

What do we tell our children and grandchildren? How do we make them feel safe, but yet cautious of their everyday activities?  How do we explain why these people chose to hurt so many people?

We want to teach our children to give to others and always help those in need. Well now the very people who they thought they should help, could be the predator they need to be cautious of. We need now to help those around us even more. If a child wanders off from their parents, we can protect them until they are reunited. We can educate in the best way we can for our children to always be aware of their surroundings, and be cautious of someone acting very oddly in a situation. We can stress to them to always have someone with them at all times, and not to wonder off.

We now as their family have to try to find the right way to keep them safe, but yet be kind and do kind deeds to help others. The new normal is a unsettling feeling in our everyday life. The new normal is far from what we knew life to be. We are all in a state of alert and awareness at all times. There seems to be not a safe place anywhere.

We still should be able to show kindness to those who are in our everyday life. We have those neighbors and close friends, as well as family who need us. We as fellow man need each other more than ever to help unite against this evil that has started breeding in our world. We need to show our children that goodness and kindness still exists. If we fill their lives with support and love, they will have more security and comfort  when hearing of this evil that hurts others.

Hopefully goodness will prevail.

So with the holidays still ahead of us, we need to try harder to make them the best we can. We need to keep all those who are hurting in our prayers. Their holidays will be forever different. Perhaps you can make someone smile today with a good deed. OUR WORLD NEEDS GOOD DEEDS AND KINDNESS NOW MORE THAN EVER. PAY SOME GOOD FORWARD, YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID.
