"When Tragedy Hits"
It is indeed a sad thing when tragedy strikes and some people end up losing every material thing they might own. This is especially true for those who end up being attached to the things that they might possess. Now, of course, I somewhat understand such an attitude in a child, because they do not really know any better. But I do sometimes find it difficult to understand this behavior in an adult. In an adult, I do understand being upset because of maybe losing something that was valuable, but a lesson to learn from such a tragedy is to put valuable things away in the safest place possible. Most people should be able to understand that most things are indeed replaceable, and if they cannot be replaced, you could not have taken it with you anyway. Being thankful for the little things in life is a beautiful way to live, and the earlier someone learns that lesson, the better it will be.
So from this day forth, child of Mine, learn to keep everything in proper perspective. Everybody has heard the old saying that you cannot take it with you when you die; well, that is oh so true. What is the difference, therefore, if you were to lose everything now, or if you cannot take anything with you when you die? Have you ever seen a hearse pulling a U-Haul behind it? Material things that have been lost are never as important as life itself, and everyone should remember that fact. Life is always more important than material things, even when you cannot see it at the time. One can feel as if life is over when they sit down and take inventory of what was lost. Some people will even see themselves as victims, and some people will see themselves as overcomers when there is a tragedy. I would love, therefore, for My children to see themselves as overcomers, and blessed they will be if they rise above their tragedies, in and through JESUS CHRIST, your Lord, Savior, and King.
AMEN
