Why?

Today, Sean and I attended a memorial service for our friends' almost 8 year old daughter. Pastor Bob said in his message that it is OK to ask why? Why do things like this happen? Why did it have to be 2 days before her birthday? Why to this wonderful family? Why do I not have words to comfort them? I don't have words to express the sorrow and loss I feel for them. I was amazed at the little girls' mother and her strength and dependence on God. I was reminded of Job when God allowed him to be tested and Job never wavered in his belief and faith in God. Nancy radiates the peace that only He can provide. Our prayers are with this wonderful faithful family in their time of trial and sorrow. We love you Tim and Nancy and Annie.
