And then, of course, add a extra prayer for those other young firemen that died as no doubt there are such stories about each that made them so special to those that love them. How is your Jimmy doing now? And how is your swollen face? Sounds as if the two of you need prayer as well. |
I started taking antibiotics Thursday evening when I got home from work and the side of my face/neck, under my left ear was getting very sore and looked like it was swelling. I had a jump on it....and it is not sore at all, except if I chew on that side...and the swelling is going down....I told God, Please dont make me go to work Monday, looking like I have a horrible case of mumps.....It is going down, I am hoping I look as normal as possible by tomorrow. Jimmy is doing well....we are discussing all the things Robert had done for Jimmy back in school...and what a fine person he had grown to be, always the same dear, sweet, kind person we always knew....Jimmy asks why in the world God didnt leave Robert here, doing so much good for so many people....Jimmy pointed out how many people Robert could have helped if God would have left him here until he was 80 years old. Jimmy reasons that "God made him such a good man that was so helpful and such a good friend to so many people, why would God make him so good, and then take him away so soon? Heaven is full of good people, and we need Robert here with us"...........I wonder that too, so I have not formulated an answer yet.
