I have been inspired reading Lisa King's blog. Life has been hard for their family,losing a son and then unexpectedly four months later losing Aaron to a massive heart attack. As I live right next door to the LDS church, I was able to witness the hundreds of people who attended the funeral service.

All of us have at some time asked the question, why? Life can be so unfair. I know I have. My ex-wife had an ongoing problem with manic depression,that claimed her life in the end. To this day, I have problems facing up to it and the failure of my marriage. Yes I am a Christian but still I have questions why. We all make choices that we later regret. We can't go back and alter them.
We should learn from our mistakes but human beings can be so stubborn at times. I am not perfect, no human being is. That is why God sent his only begotten Son into the World two millennia ago. As Scripture says.Php 4:13 Christ gives me the strength to face anything. ( Contemporary English version).

In Ephesians , Paul writes this :Eph 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
Eph 3:15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
Eph 3:16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
Eph 3:17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Eph 3:18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
Eph 3:19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (English Standard Version).

Always remember this promise from Romans.
Rom 8:28 We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. These are the people God chose, because that was his plan.
