There is such saddness, it's absolutely heart breaking. My prayers thoughout the week have been for the Lord to somehow comfort all of these hurting hearts. I'm also praying for you to have words of comfort and to know how the Lord wants you to be of help. God bless you Monica as you minister to these tears. In Him, Toni Hi Monica,

I was out of town for a few days. I am truly thankful this devotion blessed you. My heart breaks for the Hoffman family. I, like you, cannot fathom the loss of a child. Only God, and God alone will help this family find peace in these extreme circumstances. It does truly bring home the message that we are all connected, heart-to-heart though our Lord and Savior. We know He weeps with the Hoffmans and us as we all grieve when something this close to home happens. Many prayers for peace and comfort for this family and you Kasi. God bless you and yours! In His embrace, Toni Hi Kasi,

My heart is breaking for the Hoffman family (Joel and Christina) who recently lost their 3 year old son, Ethan, in the tragic accident on April 29th as their family was coming home from a bible study and were hit by a drunk driver. Ethan was their 3rd child of 4 and their oldest daughter, Carley, has already suffered thru childhood cancer but is now in remission. The other children suffered broken bones but Ethan did not survive. I don't know them personally but my thoughts and prayers have been with them almost morning, noon and night everyday. I think it has hit me hard because I too have a 3 year old son who is just days younger than their sweet Ethan and I can't imagine losing a child, I think that is a parents worst nightmare. However, I will say that I have been following their website and the comments that so many people have written is truly heartwarming and it's by God's grace that so many people are praying for this family. So I just wanted to say thank you for the reminder that God does love us and wants us to love and pray for others as intercession for them.

I want to have the Love that GOD has for us, for everyone, especially those who rub me the wrong way, they are the ones who really need our love. I am praying for every hurting and grieving heart, and I lift up Beth's sister to our Father and trust that whatever it is HE can for sure bring a comfort and solution. I ask that you all pray for my friend who just lost her 38 yr old cousin unexpectedly last Saturday, and her cousin left behind a hurt and angry 19 yr old son, who has already lost his father, uncle and now his mother, she also left behind a 7 yr old daughter who is not quite understanding that her mom is gone, and a battle for her has arose between her father and her mother's family, and the mother of this 38yr old lady, who has lost her only 2 children and is now left with her grandchildren, alot of pain in this whole family right now,,please pray everyone, I cried and prayed for them today, I know GOD hears and will heal... God Bless all of you, love you. Amen Toni, this is so awesome, just how the HOLY SPIRIT has us all on one accord, I happen to really be focusing on the love scripture, meditating on it carefully.

I will use it in grief share where people are sometimes so angry and feel that God has let them down. Hurting people who can't see God's purpose even when it's best to take their loved one home. Your comparison of a good friend caring about you and spending time with you as God wants to comfort you and spend time with you touched my heart. I sent it on to my WOW group and already I heard back from someone that "it was just what she needed to hear today. Her name is Dawn and she is suffering with shingles. Please lift her up in prayer. I love your devotionals and I love you dear one. Abundant Blessings Nan Toni,
