Why?

Yes, why is the question. There is soooo much that is happening in so many peoples lives who mean alot to mean. So much hurt and so many questions of why.

I have a ton of them myself. And would love to understand. Why some things have happened the way the have and what the meaning to it all is. But then there is a part of me that just doesn't care, just wants to close my heart from pain and hurt. Not really harden it, just close it off from feeling so much and so deeply for people and things. Yet, isn't that what GOD calls us to do? GIVE to and LOVE others. After all this is the Season in which GOD send the world the BESTEST GIFT of all. HE gave us HIS SON in the form of Love to become our SAVIOR.

So why so much hurt and pain when we have this gift as an example of what we should give? Why do some choose to walk away from their spouse for no reason? Why would I be called to a job and lead to leave it? Why are we not honest with each other? Why? Why? Why?...

Last night I finally did get an answer to one of my whys. I also finally got to finish my list of things I was looking forward to when returning from Korea. That last top five thing I have been waiting six months for finally happened, though it was nothing like I thought it would be. I also know that I was totally led by GOD to make it happen. It was and is weird. Doesn't seem real in a way. And at the same time I was blessed in a way I wouldn't have guessed.

I still have a ton of questions and things I would love to understand right now during this very dark season in soooo many peoples lives. So many whys that are unanswered in their hearts. I pray during this Season that is suppose to be about family, friends, and the Gift of Love that GOD does wrap HIS arms around those who are hurting. May those of us who aren't in that place, though Christmas is always a time of stress for many, remember the GIFT of LOVE that GOD gave us in the form of a baby whom was born in a manger and came to be our SAVIOR. May we put that LOVE into actions this Season to the people around us. We may never get the answers to our Why questions, or any understanding, but may the RISEN CHRIST be met in all that we say and do this Season and ALWAYS. May HIS Gift continue to a part of everything and in every moment.
