Answer to why.

I wrote this on myspace last spring... wanted to post on here too!!!

I was watching a movie tonite with my son... and at one part of the movie... the woman asked the man (after the barn burnt down) Why does your God let things like this happen... And the way he answered her made complete sense to me... i had never thot of it like this before... The explaination... God is our father... just like in the same sense that i am my childrens mother... i am always there.... we can be walking down the road (like walking down the road of life) and my child slips and falls... i do not push him... i do not shove him... i do not trip him... but he still falls... i can not stop him from falling... it happens to quick... but i am there to pick him up... to carry him home... to comfort him... to kiss him... too put a band aide on his boo boo... and to make it all better.... It is the same way with God... he is always with us thru our journey in life... we make mistakes... God doesnt bring heartache and pain into our lifes... it just happens... its part of life... and it happens so fast... God can not always stop us from doing things in our life... but he is still there... watching us... waiting for us to NEED HIM... and when we do.. he is there... ready to pick us up... to mend our boo boos and to comfort us... So its not that he is letting bad things happen to us or making bad things happen to us... we do that.. we make our mistakes... other people make their mistakes... but in the end... God is there for us... to carry us... to comfort us... and above all to love us... and without God... we would still be left on the sidewalk with our boo boo... trying to get up...
