Good people bad things...


Why do good things happen to bad people...and bad things happen to good people....
The old argument...
Here is my theory...
Those of us who believe in God are asked and challenged to be soldiers for Him. We are asked to fight his battle for him on this earth...
I was asked by a patient that had end stage Endometrial cancer with Bone and brain mets why her...? I have no answer except her beauty and her light makes the rest of us feel dumb and shallow... God reminds us through her that we are fragile and spoiled with grace...and through her we see his strength...She has been chosen to be an examlple for the rest of us... We are to blind to get it with out these examples of incredible human strength. Her battle scars are seen by her ravaged body, her grace is seen as she tries bravely to hold her head up and eat more pudding. Her unrelenting love is seen as her mother shows up day after day and helplessly sits and prays while her dear daughter sleeps...
Now you can choose to look away because God's light hurts your eyes. You can say that it's unfair and God is mean to put this burden on this frail woman...But she teaches us..Everyday that she breaths and lives she teaches us. We only have to look.
