Some Lessons Hurt

Today the grandchildren learned a hard and heartbreaking lesson.  Doing the normal outside chores, someone forgot to close the gate and one of the dogs got loose.  He ran right to the road and then we heard the bang.  In just that split second he was hit.  There was not any time to get him to the vet.  Grandchildren standing outside crying just as hard as they could.  Mommy and I got them in the house, while daddy and grandpa tended to Scooby.   We all talked and came to the conclusion Scooby was now in Heaven with Jesus and the baby goat we lost 2 days after she was born. 

Never knowing from day to day what life will bring we all have to face challenges.  Some may come with the loss of family or friends (including the 4 legged friends).  Some may come with illness or loss of a job.  But whatever the challenge you may face, please always remember you are never truly alone.  Though you may feel like you are, you aren't.  Jesus is always there just for the asking.

So today brought a hard lesson to young children who loved with all their hearts.  Maybe a reminder for all of us.  Even what may seem to be a very insignificant thing could have heartbreaking consequences. 

Have a safe and blessed day.
