He Was the Salt of the Earth

I’m sad. My heart is heavy for a friend of mine who lost her husband this week.

There was no prolonged illness to work through or even a heart attack. An employee walked into his business and shot him.

I’ve not been able to wrap my mind around this. I’ve been sitting in the theater of my memories….replaying special ones all day. As normal with grief and trauma, a flood of emotions come all at once. I am so heartbroken for my friend who has lost her life partner and her children who have lost their dad! I’m sad for all the things that he won’t be around for and all the bittersweet moments that his family will now have.

I’m angry at the SOB who took his life. How arrogant you are! How dare you! Who do you think you are?!

He was the salt of the earth.

The passing of time will bring healing and I know we’ll all get to the other side of this mountain. Right now, there’s a lot of prayer going up for my friend and her family. I’m asking my Heavenly Father to hold them close, to provide for their every need and to comfort them. Since I have friends that pray – would you please say a prayer for them?

He was the salt of the earth.
