I'm beginning to think that I'M the bad luck around here....my ability to "comprehend" such a "mis-justice", is almost incomprehensible.
Two of the finest, most caring parents, and people, that I know, need NOT be subjected to these things, GOD, or NO god.
The path that Ryan and Janis walk, Sandie and I have walked before, and the MORE I feel, the less I "care" about that "supposed" higher power, that seems to be unable to at least protect, the youngest, and most innocent creatures...those that we are supposed to "teach" to respect and love that higher power, and to "share ", in HIS suffering, as a follower.
This is NOT just about Janis, Ryan, and the kids, BUT, IF I HAD to draw a line in the sand, I'd say that the "protector" has just crossed it!!
I don't think I can follow anymore...I have tried, and failed...IF there's a "dark side", I'm there...........
 
I know what you are going through too, sending hugs and love your way and glad to see you have a great support group...

Mikey,

Please don't despair - we are not! In fact we're taking great comfort in God's care for our family. When our situation was in question, we prayed hard that God may save our child. When it became evident that this was not His will, we made the choice to trust in His sovereignty is this. As Job says, "Will we accept blessings from His hand, but not troubles?"

Or, as David said at the time of the illness and death of his son:
20 Then David arose from the earth and washed and anointed himself and changed his clothes. And he went into the house of the Lord and worshiped. He then went to his own house. And when he asked, they set food before him, and he ate. 21 Then his servants said to him, “What is this thing that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive; but when the child died, you arose and ate food.” 22 He said, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows whether the Lord will be gracious to me, that the child may live?’ 23 But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.”

David knew that he would see his son in heaven, as Janis & I will now have the pleasure of meeting our 3 lost children for the first time when we arrive in glory.

Remember, God never promised anyone a life of peace or rest on this earth. While we are in the fallen creation, life will be difficult -all the more so for those who follow Christ against the current of this world. But we also have the "peace that passes understanding" give by the Spirit.

Every moment we live is a blessing, every child - even for the shortest time - reminds us of the God who gives life, and will lead us to life incorruptible.

Mikey,

I know that things such as these are hard for us to understand, but God is always good. I know it, trust it and cling to it in times like these. My God loves me and will never foresake me.

God was gracious enough to take this little one home to himself. I can't think of a better place for my child to be, but with the Saviour and creator.

My hope is in Him who created me.

I pray that you would not harden you heart to the clear truth of the gospel.

Much love to all,
