My heart is breaking from all of the tragedy in our world today, from the earthquake in Japan and the resulting tsunami.

My prayers are for the survivors, may they find grace and courage to persevere, and for the families of the lost to find the comfort and peace that only God can give.

Thank you heavenly Father, I am so grateful that my relatives were spared while visiting in Hawaii and that my sweet friend/niece's family members in Sendai were also spared.

Thank you Lord.
