Have you had a life altering experience that suddenly took you and shook you up enough to make you step back a moment and catch your breath? You ask yourself..."How could this happen?" "Why is this happening to me?" and my personal favorite..."Why do bad things happen to good people?" The following list describes some very difficult trials that may affect any one of us; losing several loved ones within a few months, finding out your child has a debilitating illness and there is no cure, finding out you have cancer, finding out two of your sisters and a niece have cancer, loss of a relationship, family disintegration, heartache, mental illness, abuse, loss of a child, injustice, Mother-Nature run amok and other tragedies.
If someone would have told me I'd lose my mother, my mother-in-law, my step-dad and have my father-in-law who had severe dementia move in with my family AND dispose of two full households in less than a year, I think I would have crawled into bed and pulled the covers over my head and not left the room! During these trials, we were blessed with guidance in answer to many prayers. However, we were able to bear the journey of these losses because of a reassuring Spirit that our Savior knew what we were going through. Our family and friends were also very helpful. I wanted to share a 2 1/2 minute video which depicts our Savior and what He has done for each of us. I find great comfort in this message and I hope you do too.
