Loss for Words

This week has been really rough for me. A close friend of mine lost their son last week and it hit me like a ton of bricks. One wonders often why horrible things happen and how one could have helped to stop it from happening. Yet there are no answers sometimes.


I have found myself staring into space just wondering, why? A loved one has been given to us and a second later, taken away. We know that Christ has given us the words for eternal life but in situations like this it still is hard. Thankfully we have someone to help us through the "mud" of life.


Hug your loved ones. Love them. Be with them. Don't wait a day longer to resolve some misfortune that could be resolved. Be with them and don't let the material things of this world take you away from the things that really matter in life.


As for my friend that lost his son. I love you and I am so sorry.
