Sometimes life changes. It becomes hard, unbearable, painful, and sad, leaving us wondering why, how? It leaves us in shock. Why did God allow this to happen? How could this happen? God gave man free will. And man brought sin into this world, disobeying God’s guidance. Now we are paying for our evilness and disobedience. But when our Savior, Jesus Christ, came he said, “He would be with us always” and “Never leave us alone.”
My point is yes, there are hard times. But the sun shines again. If we can pull together as a family, as the family of “man” with hope, faith, and love for one another and especially toward our Lord, we will survive and go to our reward.
You can see God’s mercy and Angel’s working even during this pandemic. They are helping to heal those near death. And his ministering angel’s watch over us: nurses, doctors, lab techs, etc. Yes, many have died. When your time comes, nothing can stop you from leaving this world for your eternal destiny. My family’s bad times have been numerous lately too! At Christmas, my niece had a terrible car wreck. She suffered a brain injury and was near death. But her guardian angel, her grandmother, watched over her, (as she saw her during the wreck). My niece survived the accident and has no side effects. She has a second chance at life! Our family’s many prayers were heard and answered. My cousin had breast cancer, and again our prayers helped her overcome. Then her husband developed lung cancer. He has fought hard, getting stronger, and hopefully will win his fight too! My brother had tongue cancer twice and has overcome. Again through numerous prayers. But either way, we will find peace, or our eternal reward according to the life we lead now! 56 | M AG A Z I N E N A M E PAGE 3 55
