I want to have good thoughts again!

It has been more than a week since I posted my last thoughts. It hardly seems possible that the days are running past. When death strikes, our world should stop and sort out the loss of the one we love but it doesn't. The clock keeps ticking and the days come and go. I am once again feeling the sucker punch of life! That does not mean that I am not aware of the ever present nearness of my God. I am aware that HE is omnipresent! I can trust HIM to be with my children in this season of loss, I can trust HIM to be with the shocked widow. I cannot help it...I don't want to have to trust HIM! I want HIM to somehow intervene in the insanity of events and change the outcome. The reality is this....I have to trust HIM! If I do not trust God there is no rhyme, no reason to any of our days here on planet earth. So, like the Psalmist I rehearse for myself....I am in anguish, yet you, Oh God, rescue me! YOU alone sustain me, YOU alone deliver me from the snares of the evil one. I do want to state that heaven received an honorable man that we miss more than words can describe. Heaven is richer, we are poorer, but it is our eternal hope to walk through the doors of Heaven and be greeted by those who made the trip earlier than we expected! Bless your Name, O Lord, maker of Heaven and Earth. YOU give and YOU take away. Bless your Name!
