Learning year

[MAdkins82]

I'm sitting here thinking about this last year of our lives.  I could sit here and cry and complain and say Why us? why now?  why him?  and blame God and blame everyone around us.  And be angry at all those who seem to have the perfect life.  And somehow in the midst of all this I learned some of these answers.  Maybe the why us is bc God knew what we didnt.  He knew that we had enough love to come together and take care of him the way he needed to be taken care of.  Maybe the why now is bc we had begun to forget that love.  We had gotten to materialistic, we had drifted too far.  Why him??  I can't answer that, Maybe bc he had made such an impact in our lives in the short amount of time he has been in our family that God knew we would pull together for him.  and he was strong enough to fight along beside us.

I have found myself growing closer to God in this last year, when alot of others would have been angry and blamed him for what happened.  I guess this truly proves that God works in mysterious ways.

Amen. Thank you for sharing. 2010 has been a difficult year for many.  Not sure what God is doing but I am sure He has a great plan for all of us.  May 2011 be a year of comfort and blessing for you and yours!
