When we experience personal tragedy or loss, why do we get so upset? We become angry or weep and go to pieces. Is it because we believe we have a right to what we have lost?
It has been suggested by some that there are three reasons for sickness: 1) for sin; 2) for God's glory; and 3) unto death. Who's to say when anyone's time to meet their creator has come? Even the infant that is stillborn owe's his or her life not to the parents' procreative abilities but to God's creative abilities.
Instead of agonizing over what we have lost or not experienced, we should be grateful for what we have, no matter how small it is to our eyes.
