My son and I have a mutual friend - "J", and, he and his family have been on my mind the last few days; maybe because something on the radio reminded me of him, or, maybe because they are visiting O-town this week-end.
He and his young wife have a beautiful little girl that could be a child model if they chose. They are the "picture" of the perfect family. You would never know J has a condition that is affecting his heart muscles. It was first thought to be a slow process that might take years, but is progressing more rapidly than the doctors first anticipated.
Life is so daily - we plan; we go through our daily routines; we try to make a good life for our family; we look to the future. Then something jolts us into the reality that we are actually frail and merely "dust in the wind." And, it scares us.
It would be so easy to once again ask why. But, the real questions is "Why not?" Scriptures say "It rains on the just and the unjust." To me that means, we all live in this world and life happens! Reality is tough!
