A chapter in the book Dear Life

Dear Lord

by PUPA


God, I still have some questions...

 

Dear Lord, 

Remember fifteen years ago on this very same day
when You suddenly decided to take my husband away?
He was only fifty-one then, our kids both in their teens; 
I asked You why now, why him, and, what that means?


Did You choose him, so he can later on meet our son?
Dividing our family equally in two, so that 
no one
is left on his own, 'till one day maybe we re-unite?
Many questions in mind including 'maybe' and 'might'.
 
Only You knew the future and what it held for me.
Were You preparing me to look at life differently?
Your plan has succeeded, because I have changed.
My priorities in life have all been rearranged.

It took me years to open up my heart, for You to pour 
the warm flow of peace I never knew existed before.
To my questions, I find comforting answers, placed
within Your blessings, helping all doubts to be erased.

                                                    Thank You Lord                 
                                                     Sincerely yours,
                                                               Pupa

Thank you Skittratt for the beautiful artwork.
These are some of the many questions that came to my mind, after losing my husband and then 2 years later my son. I couldn't help but connect both losses together, trying to understand if that was a message and what it was telling me, what did He mean by all what had happened. Only when I came closer to God did I start to find some of the answers and getting to terms with my tragedies. But I still sometimes have questions and will wait for the answers patiently.
I thank God for having a daughter and three beautiful grandchildren.
