Why Me?

Why?  Why?  Why?  WHY?  What did I ever do to deserve this?  Why did You let this happen to me God?  Why did You let this happen to my children?  I just don’t understand.  I don’t understand You.  I don’t understand Your ways.  None of it makes any sense to me.

We could have lost everything after HSSH left.  But, instead YOU have given us so much.  We could have no food.  You feed us.  We could have no home.  You’ve given us a beautiful home.  We could be all alone and lonely.  You have filled our lives with friends, family, and COMPUTER BUDDIES!! 

Why would You bless us so much?  Why do You love us so much?  What have we ever done that was worthy of what You give us? 

Why me?

“He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.”  --Isaiah 40:11

Pam,
Hi, it's me, Carol Busse, Shawn's wife. I have been reading your story and you are an amazing blessing. I may not have your same circumstances, but you minister to my heart anyway.

This particular post grabbed me because it started off with "Why? Why?", etc. I totally thought it was going to be an understanding complaint, but it was the exact opposite. It was PRAISE to our loving Father for how He blesses His children. I need to do more of that!

I'm praying for you my sister in Christ.

Blessings!! Carol

Yes! I love it. What an amazing post. Simple but full of praise for Him. What a wonderful blessing that you can see all that He HAS given you, instead of dwelling in what has been taken away. You are fantabulous:)

Pam,
I remember seeing you week after week in church with so much pain and dispair on your face. You didn't have to say anything...I could read your nonverbals...and then all of a sudden your countenance began changing. I think it is the PRAISE! Keep praising my dear sister.

You are loved!
Barb

Wouldn't it be so much easier if we knew the why's? Or maybe not, I don't know. Anyway, I'm glad that good things are happening in your life.
