Today is the date of the very first Boston Marathon. I'm sure many of you have been touch in one way or another by this horrific event, my family was in a panic for a few hours because my Aunt and her boyfriend were in the race and we couldn't reach their cells...we found out they had crossed the finish line about 5 minutes before. Still scary--but to read of all the great hero's who have helped is very uplifting. During this time of sorrow in our nation I though a few encouraging quotes to help give your spirits a lift back up,would be nice.
"He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still”

ReplyDeleteVery nice post. I am truly hoping justice will be served-my Mother is currently in lock down inside her apartment after today's unfolding events in Boston, as is my ex-husband.
ReplyDeleteAshley, Your mom and your ex-husband are covered in prayer, as is the whole region. My heart goes out to you and your family.
DeleteSuch a tragic chain of events lately. I'm praying as well!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are still with all the victims, their families, volunteers, and police force. I hope this all ends soon.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that was way too close for comfort! Glad to hear they're okay.
