My Heart Hurts :(

Today we went to a funeral for one of DH's co-workers. A nice young man with a daughter the same age as our own. Funerals are never fun, but they are especially difficult when it is someone who still had so much of life ahead of him. At the service his daughter noticed the slideshow of pictures they were playing. She got a HUGE smile, pointed to her daddy, and said "Dada!!" I just lost it :(

This song has been playing in my head since I heard it on the way home:

Even if the healing doesn't come...when life falls apart...and dreams are still undone...God is still good.

DH and I talked about why bad things like this happen. I truly believe its a natural consequence of the world we live in. People get hurt, people get sick, and people die. I don't think God desires for us to experience this kind of pain. But its part of who we are - we are fragile, human beings that live in a dangerous world. Sometimes miraculous healing happens, sometimes it doesn't. But God is still faithful even if things don't go our way.

My head knows this. But tonight, my heart hurts.
