So much joy and goodness exists in our world -- a truth I've always held fast to in all seasons of my life. Every day there is reason for praise of God's beautiful creation. That firm belief does not mean a lack of recognition for the sorrow and darkness that also is part of the human condition.
A couple I went to high school with just lost their 21-year-old son as a result of a tragic accident. A young man so loved by family and friends, handsome, strong, one who was on a good path. It makes no sense today and it will make no more sense tomorrow or ever that they lost their boy.
I don't know. It's a thing to rage against and then lean into, to rise above and be laid low by -- It is life.
Oh how you know that heart ache! We were not created to experience this part of life. It hurts way too much. I am so sorry for his family and friends. I will keep them in my prayers.
