In Utah news, there has been coverage of the drowning of a four year old boy. Not only has the news covered the accident, I have had an 'inside' view from a co-worker and friend. The young boy is a grandson of my co-worker's brother. It has been a sad ordeal. Today, Becky and I attended the funeral. I have thought a lot about this unfortunate event.
Take a moment a think about a time in your life when you 'lost' a person that you care about deeply. The time during the loss is painful. Our mortal perspective that involves missing the loved one makes it very difficult to deal with and during the mourning period we wonder how we will ever get over the intense loss that we feel.
I can't begin to believe that a loving and caring Creator would ever allow His children to experience pain without any kind of hope to be extended. I know that even through the losses in our lives that there is hope for a brighter tomorrow. I have seen it in my own life.
There were some thoughts shared today that expressed gratitude for the role of Jesus Christ in the Plan of our Heavenly Father, that allows everyone the opportunity, if we live righteously, to live with Him again some day.
This young four year old, Corbin, is in a place of peace, love, and contentment. It is his family who feels sad because he is no longer with them. They will see him again one day.
I'm thankful for the knowledge that I have. It brings great comfort.
