No matter how much time passes, I still find myself wanting to ask the question - Why? However, the quote by CS Lewis also comes to mind ... "The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not". I guess the solace comes in hoping that one day we may know the why! Jim,

Actually it was a conversation yesterday with a mom of a daughter fighting cancer that inspired the post. I'm continually amazed at different ways that God works in the lives of all of us as we go through this stuff where we're so powerless. Thanks for the comment, Robyn.

Oh that I could have taken it on for her. But I had to trust God. Though we parents would like to help, I was powerless against cancer and the fact that she and her hubby were unable to conceive a child. In both cases He worked in ways exceedingly and abundantly more than I could ask or think. Thanks for the Twitter link. Jim, my daughter had a major crisis hit and more than once.
