And its still hard. As soon as it happen I blamed God because i had begged him not to take him from us because he was like a son to me. But now i started going to church and understood God doesn't do this so we can learn. God loves us so much that I can pretty much think he would do whatever so we woulnt suffer. It's just way of life that makes thing happen. I am deeply of your loss I know how much it hurts!Estefany Galdamezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100942908467077458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-14573633893565459182011-05-12T03:43:38.126-08:002011-05-12T03:43:38.126-08:00Thanks for this great post.

But we can choose to allow our painful circumstances to fortify our characters- to develop true compassion and love. The Lord can help us turn all our trials into triumphs. And we can remember that there is a higher reward for enduring all of life's tests. This talk has really helped me come to terms with this... http://lds.org/general-conference/2008/10/come-what-may-and-love-it?lang=engnicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741359084280079271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-42809845131729417042011-05-10T07:40:07.171-08:002011-05-10T07:40:07.171-08:00What a beautiful post with lots of great insight! ...What a beautiful post with lots of great insight! Thanks for sharing it with us. I agree, I think our pain can be used by God to further His kingdom and our job is to allow him to do that - easier said than done.

I had a chaplain say once that all of our sufferings... if we viewed them in light of Christ on the cross, looking down and saying "Can you carry this bit of the burden for me?", then how would we view them? Would they still be so terrible, knowing that we were helping Him to carry a small bit of His weight?Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.com
