Japan

My heart goes out to Japan. My heart breaks as I watch the news coverage reporting on the tragedy there. I wrestle with questions over why things like this happen, and why God allowed it. I grapple for answers as I attempt to explain to two sets of curious eyes. I have been doing a bible study in James. This week covered chapter 4.

"Why you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life?
You are only a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes."

We are only here for a little while. There are no guarantees that I will see tomorrow,or that I will reach gray hair and wrinkles.
But I do have a guarantee in Jesus.
I have a guarantee to never walk alone. So I tell those curious eyes of Gods unfailing love. I tell them that this life God has given us is a precious and delicate gift. I tell them to be thankful for each sunrise we see. I tell them we must cherish each moment and not worry about what tomorrow might bring. Because whatever it brings, we won't be alone.
