It's funny what can touch you - right smack in the middle of a "normal" day and then suddenly, it's not so normal anymore.
Hearing the news of the death of a little three-year-old boy who I have never met was still enough to bring tears to my eyes and pain in my heart. Little boys were not created for cancer or for death at three. I don't know what God's purposes or plans are in tragedies like this, but I do know that they still hurt. My heart aches for this family. This little boy was a normal, active three-year-old two months ago and now he's in the arms of Jesus.
That alone is comfort, but it still doesn't remove the pain of loss, the questions of why and the searing heart ache.
Life just really hurts sometimes. What we do with that hurt, I suppose, is really the point.
Please say a prayer for the family of Cole Ruotsala, who died this morning after battling with adrenal cancer. They will need prayer and support in the coming days, weeks and months.
