I'm Sad

I'm sad today. The reason why is it saddens me that people choose to live a life of crime. It makes me wonder how they were raised. Were they straight A students with wealthy parents, were they a victim of crime, are they suffering from fetal alochol?? All these questions come up because yesterday WE were victims of crime. Someone broke into our home, ransacked our bedroom and took a few rings, money collection and winter boots (so far that is all we can figure out that is missing). Coming home to that is one of my worst nightmares. It has terrifies me since I can remember to come home and find out that it has been broken into. I am so glad for the wonderful lady at 911 that helped me calm down and for the RCMP for their quick response and understanding.
As soon as I had a chance to calm down and explain to my kids what had happened, I said a prayer of forgiveness for the person who did this. I think that is the only way I will be at peace with this whole situation. God knows what they did, they know what they did and God still loves them.
As I was cleaning up the mess they left us, I came across Jay's bible. Makes me wonder, if they felt God was watching them because they left the rest of the house alone. Maybe they got spooked. I DON"T KNOW???!!!
As I go about my day today, I can't help but feel nervous and edgy. It scares me to think what they could have done, but didn't. I am thankful that we were not home when it happened and my family is safe.
Today I am blessed because I am safe in my home with my family.
