Our hearts go out to you (Cindy), Jimmy and your whole family! I trust that God is with you during your time of need. And as others have said, even if it is difficult to believe during this time of your loss, trust in God....He will bring you through. We may not ever know, till we get to Heaven, why it happened, but God has His reasons. Just want you to know that C and I are praying for you all, and we are saddened to hear of your loss. We, too, have grandchildren and it would be so hard to bear it. But, God wants to bear our burdens. Do you remember the "Footprints in the Sand: poem?
Here it is:
Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”
The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
Mary Stevenson, 1936
