Hurts

Warning! This is not a funny post. I am not suicidal just pondering deep stuff. Bear with me.

I know that there is a purpose for us being on this earth. I know that we were thrilled at the prospect of coming to earth and proving ourselves. I know that we were not afraid of the trials we would face. I know this. But man, sometimes it hurts.

I have been thinking of how sometimes it is more difficult to watch people you love go through their trials. It is a helpless feeling to watch your sister go through a horrible and life altering betrayal and the divorce that followed. It is so difficult to understand why someone you care about is not able to have children. It is devastating thing to see someone that you love lose a child. It has been so so hard to see my mother struggling with being a widow. Then there are those that you love and care for who haven't had the chance to be married yet and sometimes feel a bit alone or left out. There are countless trials that I haven't mentioned like illness, abuse, depression, job losses, children who abandon their families values and many more. Sometimes it just makes me sad to see so many I love hurt.

I wish I could do something to help make things right. I really can't do much more than pray and let them know that I love them and listen when they want to talk. I can cry with them and laugh with them and love them. I do love them and I hope that they know that my heart hurts with them.
