Stories no one wants to hear...

I ran into someone we knew about 10-15 years ago. I found out that a mutual friend, one of the model parents in our church when my kids were growing up, has Alzheimers. I doubt if she's even 60 years old yet. They went through some really hard things but they were always examples of faith and prayer and worship and giving and kindness and wisdom. They were in the Word. They loved Jesus and their kids. They openned their home and cared for other people. The positive thing is that lots of people are giving back to them.

The hard thing is that being people who ask why, we ask why...

There are no guarantees...except that God remains faithful and sometimes we only know that because He says it's true. He must have a huge amount of trust in these people that they will remain faithful, too. It's too hard to even imagine.
