Hi Judy,

I can only say this is certainly an incredible trial they are experiencing, some day it will all make sense.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe

You and your family will be in my prayers.

Thank you all for your compassion.

I am so on guard about "blame the victim". Everyone I talk to (not too many) always seems to think that there must have been something the parents did wrong to have such a thing (the first drowning) happen. I suppose that is because they want to believe that nothing as senseless and heartbreaking can ever happen to them.

One of the things I was pondering was- this world- it is full of sorrow and tears and it so makes you long for the age to come which will have every tear wiped away. I know this life was not designed to be perfect. It makes me so long for the Kingdom.....even more so than any threat of hell ever did. I long for a place without such senseless injustice and helplessness and sorrow.

This trial is so hard to understand. Maybe that is the point. Please pray with me that these dear folks...especially the grandmother, can continue to believe that everything does have a reason and purpose even if we cannot know it in this life.

and thank you all for reaching out to my troubled heart.....it has brought me comfort and in turn I am strengthened to comfort them.

love.

Who is the Creator?

Who created the parents?

Who created the child? God or the parents?

If the Creator had never created the parents there would never had been a child.

Thank God for the time the parents had their lives and that God allowed them to have the child as long as He did.

The child did not belong to the parents...the child belonged to God.

Sounds heartless doesn't it???

Judie, you said

I long for a place without such senseless injustice and helplessness and sorrow.

I'm right there with you. It can get so wearying in this world especially when you see these horrible injustices being done. Some days I have to just concentrate on God and trust Him that He has the control even though it doesn't seem like it, or even though I feel like things are out of control. It's the faith without the feelings that gets me through sometimes. I need to trust Him and believe in Him even if I feel dead inside, or if I am totally outraged about the world. If I didn't have that hope that indeed, He is good, and He will take care of things, then I think I would sink into unimaginably great despair.

I still have no words to say about your cousin. It is horrible. I will pray.

Pilgrim,

That does sound heartless, but I'm sure you didn't mean it to be so. God is our comforter and a very present help in time of trouble, especially in a time of grieving for a loved one.

Love,

Ursula
