blessed be the name of the Lord

The Lord gave and
the Lord has taken away,
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD
Job 1:21
Sometimes we are left wondering, aching, longing for answers. Sometimes we ask "Was this all a big mistake or was this really all part of God's plan?". We know in our hearts that He never makes mistakes, but when our human minds can't grasp the Why? we can't help but wonder. As tears at random fall I hope that even just a small part of their grief and pain is being placed on my shoulders and taken off theirs. And as those tears fall, my heart still whispers
"BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD!"
...Comforter, Keeper, Saviour, Redeemer, Friend Who shares ALL joy & sorrow, KING
