Just For Today . . . He Was There and He Is Here, 4/16/13

He Was There and He Is Here   the sky is gray, the air is cold                      matches American souls,                     terror struck the streets once again     tragedy took a high toll, where was God when things fell apart     I know many ask that today, look closely and you will see      He was right there yesterday.   He was with the runners who turned back     helping despite exhaustion, He guided the first responders     to help through  the confusion, He ran some spectators to safety     and inspired others to give aid, He comforted broken hearted,     and led all of us to pray.   we wrestle with fear and anger     question why He let it happen, and I doubt we'll know the answer     not on this side of heaven, it's so hard not to feel helpless     nothing I can do it seems, but He's also here with me now     saying, "chandra, drop to your knees."   ~Chandra Lynn Smith, 4/16/13~
