[QUOTE="doc329, post: 66468189, member: 77331"] There are times in the life of Christians when we must learn to lean on the Lord for understanding. There are times when we ask the question, " Why God? I don't understand. During these times we must learn to trust the Lord and not our own understanding. I'd like to tell you a story about a mother and her deaf child. This is a good illustration. In the state where we live there was but one school for deaf children, a residential school some fifty miles away. When she turned four years old, she was accepted into the school. She could not hear or talk at that time and knew no hand signs. To go to this school was the only chance for to get an education, but could we give her up? When the time came to go, we got her ready for the trip. We were unable to tell her where we were going or why. She packed quickly for she loved to travel, but became quiet when she saw the rest of the family had no suitecases. At the school we brought in her clothes and pointed to a small bed that was to be hers, she became more anxious and distressed. She held on to us with all her strength and began to cry. We felt our hearts break. We could not say," We love you". We will be back in a couple of weeks. You will be coming home this summer. She did not understand why this awful thing was happening to her. Fighting back tears, we loosened her arms from around us, and gave her to the supervisor. It was perhaps the most unselfish, greatest act of love we ever did for her. Painful as it was to her, it was also very heartbreaking for us. I am sure God must sometimes wipe away a tear of pity for our struggles, saying," I wish you could see the reasons now, but you can't." When you don't understand why, understand who is in control and put your trust in him. [/QUOTE]
