To all,
I have not been on this site much this week and there is a reason for that. I know I am sometimes abrasive, especially to certain factions on this site, but right now I am completely rattled. My entire family is in deep need for prayer from as many of my fellow VOL faithful as we have suffered a tragedy that one only think happens to someone else. I have dealt with death amongst family members, including my father last year. That goes with being 61. This past Monday afternoon; the youngest member of my relatively large family, My 15 month old Great Grandson Elliot was murdered. He was killed and apparently suffered before at the hands of a psychotic 18 year old that his mother had married. I have never felt such an overwhelming RAGE driven by an unbearable grief in my life. At this moment, this monster is far safer in the solitary confinement cell he has been placed in. I am a 6' 3" 260 lb ball of rage right now, and Elliot's biological father makes me look small and calm.

Please pray that I can remember that Elliot is in the arms of Jesus right now and will forever be at peace. The only thing harder that dealing with this was telling his 5 year old sister that her brother wasn't coming back home.

I am sorry to put this out here, but we am really struggling.

I pray for you and the entire family. This is so sad but yes Elliot is in the arms of Jesus now. There is no doubt about that. I pray that God gives you and all the family strength and reassurance that through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we will all see each other again in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Most gracious Heavenly Father,
We most humbly admit our sins and failings before you, and recognize that we are fallen creatures. But Lord, we ask, in the name of Jesus, that you would give your gift of the Peace that Passes Understanding to our friend Pride85 and the rest of little Elliot's family at this tragic time. Please comfort them, give them strength, wisdom, and courage at this most difficult time. We ask that your just Will be done, and that you give us the wisdom to understand. Please Lord, help this family.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.

I have no words, except I'm sorry, and we will pray for your family. I can't imagine.

There are people and events in this world that we can never make sense of.
The worst of it for me has always been when I am in the middle of the pain.
For those of us who live by faith, the frustration can be worse, How could this happen in a world created by God ?
There are things in life that we never fully get over. Time will help. Hopefully, our prayers will as well.
Don't hesitate to get any help you can outside of yourself, this is way too much for anyone to deal with on their own.

Prayers sent to you and yours my friend. May God keep you in his arms and assuage the pain and righteous fury that you feel.

I have a suspicion that this may have happened near my area, if not, something similar happened here. There are no words. But if you need anything, whether you are near me or not, I, along with VolNation are here for you.

Sir, I don't even know where to begin to even try to help you. I'm at a loss. I promise to put you and you entire family before the Lord's throne though. Even when I can't see a way in my life, I know that He has made one. 😥

It's a crazy world we live in, and drugs are fueling the insanity. The Mother has some responsibility in this........ To be honest, given the opportunity, I'd probably be in Jail. The consolation IS that the Baby has a new home in Heaven, that is a guarantee . He is there now...

My fellow VFL I am so sorry for your loss. I am definitely lifting up your family in prayer. You have my deepest condolences. May God continue to guide you and give you strength and peace in this time of need. Psalms 34:18: "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."

That is both shocking and horrible. I'm so sorry your family and that poor innocent child went through that. I understand your rage as it makes me mad and I don't even know you. I'll definitely pray for you and your family.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. I don't understand, and I guess I'm not meant to, how someone could callously murder a baby. I understand your rage, I would feel the same way. As the father of 4 children, step father to another, grandfather to 7, and a great grandfather to 1, I feel your pain and my prayers are with you and your family. The Bible tells us we are to forgive those who harm us, but that would be so very hard to do in an instance like this. May God give you peace in this moment my friend.

May the Lord hold you and comfort you until the grief gives way to loving memories. It is o.k. to be angry. God understands. As hard as it seems right now , forgive as He has forgiven you, and seek comfort in God . You great grandson is in the arms of Jesus now and will never see pain again. God bless you and comfort you in your sorrow.
