Life is hard, eternal life is better!

I am not sure who sings that song. I should someday try to find out. I will have to add that to my "look up list".

Sometimes it seems as if life is too hard. You just want to give up! There is so much tragedy and heartache all around us.

Kitty and Matt were so excited to have a new life coming into their lives. The joy on their faces just radiated. This baby was so loved. Tragedy struck and Kitty lost him. He was a perfect little boy. Sometimes I get angry thinking about it! She had just been to the emergency room the night before and they sent her home. Just gave her some pain meds and sent her home. The next morning as she prepared to go to the doctor to get more help, he was born. Way too early. He was gone before anything could be done. WHY????? I know all the classic answers: Maybe something was wrong (tests show he was perfect); God wanted a baby in heaven; He is in a better place; too many more to mention.

This is what I do know. God is good. It may not seem like it sometimes, but he is crying right along side of us. He loves babies. I will not falter in my faith. Pastor Peacock once told me that "Faith has questions". I will cling to my faith even though I don't doubt God or faith, I do have questions. But life can sometimes be really hard, but I know whom I believe and that eternal life with him will be GREAT!!
