God Has a Reason by John Fischer Our reflection today comes from an eleven-year-old who wrote the following poem after hurricane Katrina struck the gulf coast. Keep in mind this is a child tackling a very big problem. I'm not sure any of us could do any better. Besides, faith comes easier for children than it does for us, which I'm sure has something to do with Jesus mentioning that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them (Matthew 19:14). God Has a Reason by Ryan MacDonald Age 11 In times of sadness and cruelty, God has a reason. When the most horrid disaster dwells upon the land, God has a reason. The things that one would think would tear us apart, Pull us into a brotherhood with God. A shadow has fallen upon this nation Only to be reshaped by love and hope. Hearts have been broken from this storm, And yet -- like a rose -- The thorn is sharp, but the velvet red petals are magnificent. When this black hood of sorrow is lifted from our heads, We will have learned. We will have been changed by the Lord to love one another, To help each other at any cost, Whether the cost is life or death. Blood has been shed. Tears have dripped. Now it's your turn to make a difference. God has a reason. So Ryan set out to make his own difference as best he could. He set up a brownie and lemonade stand. In spite of the questionable wisdom of this odd taste combination, he raised $274 for relief. That doesn't seem like a lot, but it's a lot for an eleven-year-old and I bet God turned it into gold. So how about it? Ryan says it's our turn. My guess is that what's happening now in this desperate region is a little like what happens when someone suddenly loses a loved one. There is an initial outpouring of love and support, but soon after the funeral, everyone goes back to their normal lives and the loss is even greater because, for that loved one who remains, there will not be a normal to return to. It's that “second wave” of loss that usually comes later and is even harder to bear because everyone else has gone on. Indeed, these people must forge a new “normal,” and it will take time. Not to mention the rising death and homeless toll in Pakistan where disaster has started all over again. The world is a hurting place right now, and believers all over can and will make a difference. Perhaps this is one way we can be a part of God's reason. John Fischer is the Senior Writer for Purpose Driven Life Daily Devotionals.

Stephen Cummings
JD was my brothers best friend and when i heard him crying on the telling my dad that JD had passed on we were all devestated and all never forget how much my brother cried that week. I had never seen him cry that much so obviously JD Moore was very important to us and we wish none of this would have never happened

A friend of a friend
Amazing... JD's family was obviously a close one. And a LARGE one. I didn't know JD or the Moore family. I was told about this tragic loss today by a close friend, a friend who definitely knows the Moore family and who hurts for their loss. I sat here and read every word of support that was left by JD's LARGE EXTENDED FAMILY. And I felt compelled to say that it's clear to me that JD was loved and wasn't afraid to follow his heart. As parents, giving our children the wings to fly, to follow their dreams and to live each day to the fullest, truly is the best gift we have to give. Please know in your hearts that you gave it all, and JD knew it. My heart and my prayers are with you, along with that HUGE family you shared with your son. Signed, A MOM

janet
I am so sorry, John. Sometimes we don’t always understand what God does, and it is hard to say God wanted your son, because I know you did, too. I cannot imagine losing a child. The order is wrong, the parent should go first. For whatever reason, God wanted JD sooner. JD has a lot of good company with Chris Trickle and Mark Hutto and all. You gave more to your son than many parents can ever give. You let him live his dream. I heard about this at Mesa and I guess it took awhile to sink in. It has now, and there is no way I can imagine, your hurt, your grief, your pain. I am so, so sorry.
