Some rather sad news this evening. A local boy my kids were friends with died of a rare form of cancer. He loved…lived…for 2 years with this cancer while his parents made him undergo experimental treatment after experimental treatment.
My kids keep asking me… “Why wouldn’t God hell him?”
I thought about it for a moment and this is how I responded.The best I could tell them was….
“That he did heal him, for over 2 years God kept him alive, he had a terminal cancer, he should have been gone in less than 6 months. Not for this little guys sake though, but for him to help lead people to Jesus and to help his family learn to cope with the loss they will now face”
…. Maybe that will help them deal with the loss, maybe it will help them at school when consoling their friends.
I can only hope… Please remember this family in your thoughts and prayers. I can’t possibly imagine losing one of my kids.
