Lockdown

When I picked up Brianna after Kindergarten the other day she said,
"We had a lockdown today."
"You had a lockdown today?"
"Yes, we had to go into the dark closet and stay very quiet.  I was shivering I was so scared.  Then I said a prayer, and Jesus telled me that it was just a drill."

Wow.

I'm very glad it was just a drill.

I'm very sad that "lockdown drills" are necessary.

I'm very glad that my daughter knew to pray.

I'm very glad that she received a comforting answer.

Hug your children a little closer today. 

I will.
