I absoluely believe so.

 

I believe in God and I believe that he knows when he wants us back and that's that.

We don't get to vote on it, Death is a part of life and I don't think it's up to us -when part of it if it's natural. That's all I mean. @goldensrbest

Re: How do you feel about this?

  • DH died last year at 79. I say if he took better care of himself he would of lived longer. He didn't try to give up smoking or sugar. Maybe he ust gave up.
  • My brother died from a fall at 32. Too young. He went through hl in Korea and I can't believe the saying is true.

Re: How do you feel about this?

My personal belief is that we each have our time, and that in the end everything turns out the way it was supposed to.   However, I would never express my beliefs of either to anyone who is grieving, but have indeed had this discussion with close friends who share my thoughts.   

 

My friends DIL lost twin girls in the last weeks of pregnancy.  Perfect pregnancy, no complications whatsoever.  The little girls were absolutely perfect, and pathology held no answers whatsoever as to why they died.   My friend and her family were absolutely crushed.  The twins birth would have given the son and DIL 4 girls, and all were happy about that, but secretly all had hoped for a boy for this little family.   It was very hard to watch this family grieve, although they assured everyone they were okay, and still trusting God to heal their hearts.   6 months later the oldest daughter told her family at the dinner table that Jesus was sending her a baby brother for her next birthday!   Mom and Dad laughed and told her that wasn't exactly how it worked, but she was adamant that her baby brother was coming!  The surprise was on Mom and Dad, as their son was born 2 weeks before the oldest daughters birthday!   2 years after his birth, a second son arrived.   This family praises God every day for their blessings; they carry the twins in their hearts, but feel it was His plan for them to parent 2 daughters and 2 sons.   This family no longer questions the twins death, but continue to say exactly what the mom said when she first held her newborn son, "God knew best".

Absolutely. 

 

And even if you think someone was too young to be taken, it was all in God's plan.  There is a purpose in death - as there is a purpose to life as well.  And sometimes we don't know the purpose of someone's death.  Sometimes we are not meant to know everything.

I don't like platitudes.  They are usually meaningless and quite silly.

If anyone actually believes that, why would you ever see a doctor or go to the ER when you show signs of a heart attack?  You will either die or not, it's not your call.

 Now feeling like that ,would be really hard to understand,God gave them those twins, he would not let them die,just because they think he wanted them to have boys.
