Better than life

People die. This may sound morbid, but they do. Everyone will. It is sad, but we do. I will someday, only God knows when and how. Most people do not think about death very much. Who wants to think about death, especially their own? We are forced to think about it, though, when someone dies that we know or are close to.
Mothers are taken from their children and husbands sometimes.
I think it may be the worst losing mothers to babies and children. Most of them all they wanted was to have children in the first place and spend their lives loving them, nurturing them, and taking care of them.
But it may be the worst of worst losing a baby or child. We take a risk when we have babies. We want then so badly, yet know deep down the possibilities surrounding them of hurt, failures, and even death. We would rather have them and love them for a little while than have never had them to love at all.
I know of a mother who lost her first baby and then bore another one only to be taken, herself, by the Lord 3 months later.
I do not understand, but I do understand that God is good and that does not change. We live in a fallen world where terrible, tragic things happen. God wants us to praise Him through the storms of life. Please pray for this husband who has lost his wife and the mother of his baby girl. Pray that God will lift up his head and he can say one day "It is well with my soul, Lord". Pray God will hold him ever so tightly and surround him with loving people who will just be there for him. Please pray for that baby girl. Thank you.

God has shown me this week that being with Him will be far more better and pleasurable than being here with my family. It is the best thing in the world to be with Tyler and Griffin! I cannot imagine how it will be to worship my Savior forever and ever and be with Him. How amazing it will be!
