Is God to blame? #hard times #Depression #Hope Anxiety #Faith #MentalHealth
Sometimes bad things happen to us and we think God is to blame. Sometimes Gods ways are bewildering to us. The longer I live the more I realise that I am perfectly capable of messy things up myself.
Tomorrow my Wife fly out of Australia for a 7 week holiday in Europe. It’s been a year in the planning and I have been very careful to ensure I am healthy before the trip. Our last two big holidays were complicated by me having a fall and fracturing three vertebrae and then the last one was after I had a triple heart bypass.
5 days I was cutting up some tree branches and the chainsaw kicked back and ripped into my hand. The hand is all stitched up and fortunately missed vital nerves. It is rather painful and uncomfortable. Was God to blame?
Nope. I was not paying attention and was a bit careless. The trip will still happen but I suspect my Wife might give my chainsaw away. Probably a good idea.
