A Couple of Thoughts on Tragedy

The thing about tragedy is that often, there are no answers this side of heaven.  This song has brought me comfort throughout the years...

The other thing about tragedy is that while you are experiencing the deepest, darkest, pain...you also get to see the most beautiful side of humanity...of others loving you, encouraging you, sharing grief and tears, stepping up to bring meals, being available to listen.  Beautiful souls are in this world...and often they shine through the brightest during the darkest times.

I wish tragedy did not have to be a part of our world, but it is. I'm thankful there is a God bigger than this lifetime!
