When people say things like "you must have been a terrible person in your last life " or "you must have killed a whole village full of chinamen" when we are talking of health issues.
I understand people don't know what to say. Look there are days I don't know what to say either. And I get that blaming God is an easy thing to do. But you know...in my world it doesn't work like that. My God doesn't punish a child for the sins of their mother or father or of someone in a previous life. He doesn't say well that Therese was a naughty girl so I will make her child ill. Really...my God is not a punishing God. Bad things do just happen to good people. And hey good things happen to so percieved "bad" people. It is just the way life is. I cannot spend my life looking for the reasons. Or I miss the moments. the magic moments, the mad moments, the just being moments. Those moments are what it is all about. And looking for the why's ? Well that is wasting what we have been given.
I hate having a sick child. I hate dealing with all the emotional stuff that goes with it. But I love her. More than life itself. And so I will deal with it. And maybe there is no reason for all the suffering. But maybe my God knows more than we do, in fact he does, and one day I will understand. And until then, I love her and I get on with it. And I remember that He is always with me.
