How can we make sense of this one??

I don't want to dwell on this..but I feel like I need to write right now..I try to never question why things happen..I kind of figure theres always a reason..although over time there has been more than one occassion where I questioned? Just like most of us..and theres not an answer really acceptable to me..I have one friend that always tells me its God's Plan...I always try not to argue back with her..I want to say to her but what if it were your child would you feel the same.?.would you just go on like nothing happened in your merry life and just say to yourself..it was Gods plan...?/but I never said that to her...she always writes scripture to me to try to make me understand..I still don't though..I believe like anyone else..God has been with me all my life..thru hills and valleys ..ups and downs..from the depths of hell...God wasn't there this day...he was somewhere else ..taking care of something else..guess he wasn't in China either when 22 children were being slashed at a school...Satan was definetely in Newtown Conneticut and China that day...he sure gets around.....I know that God is everywhere ..but I think his attention was somewhere else at the time..I suppose there will be other times like this in my time...I pray for nothing like this to ever happen again..for all the babies to be safe..learn their ABC's and 123"s..put their little teeth under the pillow for the tooth fairy..to be here to look for the easter egss ..to celbrate birthdays until their old and hunched over..to open their gifts on Christmas morning.. to grow up to be firefighters, doctors, lawyers, chefs, indian chiefs, Presidents..I think God might need an assistant..things are getting way out of control...I think he needs help...I haven't lost my faith in God ..I just lost my faith in Man...years ago..

God Bless the little children
all the little children of the world
 red, yellow. black and white,
they are precious in his sight..
God Bless the little children of the world..

My Salutation to you is....

I have written this many times on facebook and maybe other places when I see keep Christ in Christmas and say Merry Christmas...the first thing I would like to say is that my Christ will always be in MY Christmas..no matter what salutation I express to anyone else..Christmas is NOT the only holiday in December and I have many friends that celebrate holidays other than Christmas...I have Jewish friends to whom I say Happy Hanukkah..I have African American friends that may celebrate Kwanzaa ..therefore if I know this I say Happy Kwanzaa...If I am standing in line at the bank or walmart or the grocery store and we strike up a conversation ..but our holidays never come up...I may say to you upon departing from you Happy Holidays....which would mean that whatever holiday you celebrate have a happy one and a Happy New Year...simple as that..it in no way means I am taking Christ out of Christmas....So to all my friends Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Kwanzaa...and to all a Happy New Year...
