Life, Death and Gods' Goodness!

                          
   Recently things seem to be out of sync. We have a friend whose Dad recently died, another friend who was diagnosed with cancer, and I myself had an accident while riding an ATV and messed up my left knee, ankle, and foot. What's up when things like this happen?
   We live in a "fallen" world. Since Adam ate the apple Eve presented him, we have lived in a less than perfect world. It doesn't mean that God doesn't love us, it just means we have to cope with circumstances
which we simply wish would go away. Gods' presence is always with us! If we would just remember this
 it would go a long way in comforting our spirit and helping us to comfort others. In the latter part of Matthew 28:20, Christ tells us "I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Also in John 14:16,"And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever."
    When circumstances get us down, we must remember to look up! "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called called according to His purpose." Romans8:28.
