A well meaning relative recently mailed to me a book on grief...the purpose
of this book is to bring comfort and peace to those experiencing the loss of
a loved one. I just had to share some of the !@#$$$%^%^& written. By
the way, the author is a minister:
"One analogy that has helped me is the Life is like a card game, Fate deals
the cards. I wanted God to deal, and I wanted to be able to have some way
to entice Him to give me nothing but good cards. However, if God deals the
cards, who do I blame for the bad cards?......I am now comfortable with Fate of Life itself dealing the cards. I see that God's role is to stand beside me and help me play whatever cards I get."
The thing that makes me really sad, is I used to believe in this same weak, pathetic god (small "g" intended).....talk about looking behind and seeing from where i came from.....thank you GOD, for opening my eyes to see that NOTHING is too hard for You, that You ARE GOD ALMIGHTY, IN YOU WE LIVE, MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING, ALL THINGS ARE FOR, OF AND BY YOU, and there
is NOTHING left to chance or fate.
sorry, just venting.....
