Quote soapyshelly: Quote Willow Girl Rocks: Quote soapyshelly: After reading your post I would like to share this thought with all of you...I edited from an email I received and think the message it holds is worth sharing. It compares the good/bad in life to the flower and thorns of a rose. 'My God, I have never thanked You for my thorns. I have thanked You a thousand times for my roses, but never once for my thorns. Teach me the glory of the cross I bear; teach me the value of my thorns. Show me that I have climbed closer to You along the path of pain. Show me that, through my tears, the colors of Your rainbow look much more brilliant.' Praise Him for the roses; thank Him for the thorns. God Bless all of you. Be thankful for all that the Lord does for you. 'Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and leave the rest to God.' We often try to fix problems with WD-40 and Duct tape. God did it with nails. I'm the world's worst at not thanking God for my thorns, only for the roses. My prayer today is to start being thankful for the thorns I know they will help me grow. I pray this for you also. All of the posters on this board now hold a special place in my heart I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. God Bless, Shelly That is beautiful . This is a true story , it has thorns in it. My granddaughter inlaw was in a car with her three month old son..my great grandson. She was in the front seat with him and her dad was driving . Her mother was in the back seat with her brothers two babies, one thirteen months old and one three years old. A loaded cattle truck ran them off the road and then turned over on them , killing all three in the back seat. Dawn was able to crawl out a broken window with her son , just minor cuts on them. Her dad had a broken back with head truma. If God was in the front seat ? Why couldn't he have been in the back seat too ? I believe in God with all my heart , some things just have no answer. Willow, I am not sure if you are asking for a reply or not but just something to hopefully comfort you. I am so sorry for your loss. I think that God was in the back seat too because he wrapped them in his loving arms and carried them home, not to mention the fact that he didn't place the loss of 6 people on your family his grace and love reduce the tragedy to half. It is never easy to loose some one we love and there is no rhyme or reason to God's plan but just by faith we know that he has one and He IS GREAT. Prayers and wishes to you. Thank you , that is a very wonderful way of explaining it. |

Willow do not feel bad for the ones that are no longer with us. God did them a service, he took them into the Kingdom. They will not miss this life. It's us, the one's left behind, that feel the pain and the sorrow. They feel love. |

I saw C.S. Lewis mentioned in another thread so I wanted to ask if any of you are fans? He wrote many wonderful books but his best is, IMO, Mere Christianity. It is perhaps one of the best explanations of the existence of God. |

Here are some great Lewis quotes: "A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell." "God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing." "God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” “There is no neutral ground in the universe; every square inch, every split second, is claimed by God and counter-claimed by Satan.” |

But Narnia was a beautiful written movie and the message of his love well depicted. Loved it when the Ice lady thought she could kill the Lion and he came back to life. Reminded me of Jesus crucifiction....what conviction in knowing that evil can not kill what is good.....spiritually. |

It's us, the one's left behind, that feel the pain and the sorrow. They feel love. But through our pain we must persevere. God gives us obstacles to test us. In a way I feel bad for thanking God that my great grandson and his mother are still here . I feel guilty . |
