I am consoling a good friend right now who just suffered a still birth at 41 weeks; and who almost lost her 2 year old daughter and husband 7 years ago in a horrible dog attack. Her daughter is still having yearly reconstructive surgeries, and will into her teenage years. She was angry for many years. Now, she feels that there is no time for anger, that life is scary and dangerous, but also miraculous and beautiful. It makes me wonder how some people take tragedy and let it bring them closer to God, while others are driven further from Him. I suppose it's about time, and being open to suffering, and being patient with the slow emergence of goodness. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, your post hit a touchpoint with me. Thank you.And I'll Raise You 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/04807118403081664721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766456357437110766.post-34327537248834836502008-04-14T04:10:00.000-05:002008-04-14T04:10:00.000-05:00Sandy - what a beautiful post.

We start going through turbulence. And how we're to praise Him WHILE going through the turbulence. Somehow that just struck a cord in me.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jose Cuervo? Woman, that made me laugh.

The most difficult thing I ever went through showed me I was stronger than I thought & helped me to meet my husband. <BR/><BR/>Also, I had a cousin who tragically died when she was two. Her parents were so unhappy, my uncle was cheating, my aunt was pregnant and miserable...and her death cemented their marriage, produced another child and made them VERY religious.
