“As we live on earth we must walk in faith, nothing doubting. When the journey becomes seemingly unbearable, we can take comfort in the word of the Lord: ‘I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold I will heal thee’ (2 Kings 20:5). Some of the healing may take place in another world. We may never know why some things happen in this life. The reason for some of our suffering is known only to the Lord." { James Faust}
How true. We always search for reaons why things happen to either us or those we know. We try to make sense of it and figure out "why". As hard as we may work to find the answers to our questions in this life....we may have to be patient and wait till the next life to be given the answer as to why.
“We are limited in our visions. With our eyes we can see but a few miles. With our ears we can hear but a few years. We are encased, enclosed, as it were, in a room, but when our light goes out of this life, then we see beyond mortal limitations. …
“The walls go down, time ends and distance fades and vanishes as we go into eternity … and we immediately emerge into a great world in which there are no earthly limitations.”
What a comfort to know that there is more waiting for us on the other side of the veil. Though we may be parted in this earthly life there is so much more waiting to be enjoyed and experienced.
How sad for those who believe that this is all we get. This short time on earth. If this is it then why be good, why have faith. We might as well do whatever we can to enjoy the here and now no matter who we gotta crush down to do it. There would be no good or bad, right or wrong. Everything would be chaos [ kinda what were all experiencing right now].
Faith- believing in what we cannot see. It is so hard for so many people , including me. It's hard to keep the faith when nothing in your life seems to be going the way you want. If God is really there then why is he letting this bad stuff happen to you? With one touch of his hand he could make your world perfect again. When this doesn't happen the way you pray for it to then you think that God is angry with you or you did something to piss him off. The spiral affect begins. the disbelief starts eating away at your faith like a cancer. Goes back to my original question that started this blog "Why are we here?"

Love the picture of Bella-you sure write some good stuff, makes mine seem like all I am doing is rambling on about nothing. But, I am writing from the heart and I guess that's what counts. You were right about good men. You have a great brother and I am so glad he is mine. I love him very much and I wouldnt have him if Buck wouldnt have listened to God and brought the 2 of us together. Thanks Buck!!!! For the Love of my Life, I cannot imagine my life without him-------Linda
