They come in 'Threes'...

Have you ever heard that before? Have you ever heard that tragedies come in 'threes'? Well, that 'theory' holds true in my life and continues this season...

Thursday, November 5 - Man opens fire at Fort Hood killing 13 and injurying many more.
Thursday, November 12 - Old YL Leaders and dear friends' 3 month old baby stops breathing at babysitters and dies on following Sunday.
Thursday, November 19 - Dear YL friends in Boerne come home from dinner and find their high school son who had committed suicide.

Lots of Questions. No Answers. All Faith. All Trust. It's in these times that we turn to the only guaranteed stable thing in our life. Jesus Christ. Our Rock. Our Foundation. Our Hope. Without Him, we have nothing. With Him, we have everything!

He never promises a pretty and easy road. But He does promise to never ever leave us! And for that I give Thanks during this Thanksgiving Season. Just so you know, Thanksgiving is not a Holiday, it's a WAY OF LIFE! Few people are Thankful. It saddens my heart so much.

Life is full of ups and downs. I'm not sure why tragedies seem to come in Threes. I do know that after Three Days Jesus rose from the Dead though! And He lives today.

Do you know Him?

Happy Turkey Day to you and yours...
