A plea to offer prayer intention for peace to the couple in Pittsburgh

I only saw a brief snippet on yahoo news regarding the tragedy of their child losing his balance and falling into a local zoo's wild African dog exhibit.  The child fell when the parent was trying to give him a better view of these most dangerous dogs. I know there is much suffering in the world, struggle in life, loss and other life challenges. This story, however, causes a deep pain for all of us as we know that it could be any one of us that this may have happened.  We never understand fully why things happen to some versus others. There are no explanations that can reduce the depth of sorrow, pain and suffering these parents and extended family will endure.  However, for today, when you read this, or other heart breaking stories, stop, breathe, and pray that this family will find the peace that their little child now knows in the resting state many call heaven.  We are with you in prayer. Allow us to absorb some of you pain so that your pain may be lessened. Together, we walk with you, leading you to peace.
