It has been a difficult few weeks in our small community. Several serious accidents and several with serious illness. We pause a moment and realise we take our good health and good fortune for granted. We add our prayers to the many being said, that those afflicted may have courage and strength and ease to their sufferings.
A young couple, friends of our children, are hurting. Their youngest son, only 22, was killed last weekend, his older brother was seriously injured just a few weeks ago. Their lives are forever changed. Their pain will never cease. Our hearts ache for them and we pray unceasingly that they may find peace and be comforted.
When we are envious, we always choose to look at the rich and healthy and ask "Why can't we be like them?". We never question our lot in life, when viewing the poor, the ill, and the aged.
