Hi, Being raised on the south I was brought up as a Baptist, never thought of things being the way they are until now. I am wondering why I and my family is being tormented so much. I have asked a priest out of desperation and explained all the situations over the years and he says it's Gods plan for Sainthood. Now let me ask here, why.
My family seems to have been tormented since I was a child, kicked out of our home 4 days before Christmas so the business who owned the house (large antebellum home) could host their Christmas Party. Churches, every church we have ever gone to, we were forced to leave. Being told by members that we weren't welcome and how no one there wanted us to be a part of their congregation. Living next to people who would do terrible things to us, police would never do anything to help, yet these people thrived. Family life, money, new cars, etc...While we work harder than most but get screwed by everyone since we work for ourselves. We care for our animals, take them to vets, good food, but when one gets sick, it's never an easy fix. It is always something that cannot be cured, cancer, kidney/heart disease. And today, our dog went to the vet on thursday, vet called today saying how she wasn't going to make it through the night. Left a message I might add. We called back, and again and again, went to the office, cars there but never got ahold of anyone, called other vets, and every number we could find yet NOTHING got us any closer to contacting the vet. So we are just sitting here, knowing our dog is probably going to pass tonight, and there is no way we can hold her one last time.
I could go on and on, but that would be a novel. I just want to know why we are being tormented so much, why we experience so much pain in our day to day life. When we are kind to people, we help those who truly need it and all we ask in return is to live happily. I'm not complaining about what we do have, I know we are truly blessed compared to others around the world, but we would trade that in a heartbeat to be able to live happily. Is that too much to ask for?
