Never Once

Last week was quite a week, not so much in my life but it seemed that everywhere I turned there was pain and suffering. The week of suffering ended with some dear friends of mine welcoming their first child into the world. Quite the opposite of pain and suffering! I wasn't and am still not quite sure how to process all of this but I'm thankful that my pastors offered some direction and words of comfort on Sunday. None of them tried to answer anybody's "why" questions, they pointed us to the "Who" that holds us in the midst trial, the "Who" that never leaves us alone. So thankful for the pastors in my life!
