I like how brief yet meaningful this reading is. And the statment about "our Father in heaven whose love infinitely surpasses the love of all earthly fathers and who gives us more than we ourselves could ask for or even imagine" is so true. I mean, there's so much we have to be thankful for... health, strength, right mind, love from friends and family, etc... I think a lot of ppl take these things for granted... and its actually pretty easy to. And i think also thats why God lets "bad things" happen to ppl... like what we were talkin about today. Like if a kid has cancer, of course thats a tragedy and a horrible thing... but, when things like this happen, it SHOULD make those who have kids appreciate that their kid has their health n strength... And also, i think that things like that are just a part of life. I dont believe getting cancer (for example) is evil. It's just something that happens sometimes with the cells in our body. Some ppl might ask "Well why doesn't God fix it?" ... Sometimes He does. And sometimes He doesn't. But u cant question God. If you truely trust in Him, you don't need to ask "why?" because you know that He is right in everything.
Now if a kid gets abducted and killed, i believe that's evil. ... but you still cant question "Why did He let that happen?" Maybe its so that people can be aware and keep a better eye on their childern, Maybe the child woulda grown up to be a killer themself, who knows.

Yes, I would agree about the kid. I remember this story, when an atheist asked saw a innocent kid die during the war, and saw that as the argument for the nonexistence of God, for he thought that, if there's a God, why would God let such an innocent kid die. And he told this claim to a believer of God. The believer said this; that one see's it from one point of view, because this kid, who just died, is in a much better place now, and the kid escaped all this war misery.
