Psalm 33:20 We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.My aunt, who is only 49 has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in her lungs and her brain. A little girl, only 11, with an aggressive bone cancer, is fighting for her life. Friends and friends of friends have lost their sweet precious babies before they had a chance to watch them grow. My 90 year old grandpa passed away after a car accident. A grandma who was here one day and gone the next. A dear sweet woman I love suffered a stroke. A teen boy tried to take his own life. This is the last 6 and half months.
Life is full of heartache. Pain. Suffering. Loss. And for what? Why? I don't know the answer to that. Not really. I know that we live in a fallen world. I know one day we will be restored and whole. Psalm 23:3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. All that we do, all that we experience, can bring glory to God if we let it.
So we wait in hope for the Lord to see the beauty that comes out of it all.

I am so sorry you have had to experience all that. It does seem like life has just been a little harder and more unfair lately. I often wonder if it was like this all along( people's pains, cancer, etc.)....but I was too young to understand, or if it is getting worse. (I don't know if that makes any sense.)
Life is so precious. My goodness, when I think about this it makes me really want to make the most of every moment...for God's glory.
