MY POOR FRIEND

Yesterday I got news my friends husband past away. She found him at home. How terrible. There lives were starting to get better after loosing one of there children in a car accident last July. So they thought. I really think truly this poor friend could not take anymore pain. She has come so far in her life, breaking through so many of her addictions. I just wish he could have. There poor kids, how heart breaking this all must be for them. So again I say "What is next?" As I talked with her yesterday she said that she is questioning her faith. She asked "If he is such an awesome God, why has he let this happen?" The words came out of my mouth so freely. I read the book "The Shack" and I think it answered some of these questions people have. I explained that God does not have control of these situations. He just takes care of us when they happen. God would never intentionally hurt someone. He try's to protect us but things happen and if you believe, he will take care of us. I prayed for Penny last night. I prayed for her to get some rest and to find comfort. For her to keep her strength for the children and her well being. Dear Lord there are sooo many people who need your love, please comfort and support those in need.
There are so many people having to make such great sacrifices these days. Jobs are being eliminated, people are loosing there health care and wage cuts. People are having to make some big decisions and I pray for them that they will be the right ones. (BILLIEJO) I hope that things truly will turn around in the world and we will all become stable again.
