Stuff can be sucky.
In recent times, things have been sucky, not for me, but for others and it is sad.
A close friend of mine had a sister with a severe disability and she passed away last month. She was in her early 20s. My friend is struggling with everyday things, with relationships, missing her family in Queensland, and most of all missing her sister.
Another friend had a miscarriage. She and her partner are devastated, understandably. How traumatic, and yet I'm sure this happens way more commonly than we know. The inner anguish must be terrible.
A couple at church had a baby two weeks ago who has been born with partial deletion of a key chromosome. Her outlook is very bleak, she is on life support and very ill. It is just so sad.
My Dad is going on chemo next year. I don't know how long it will give him, but there is no cure for his form of cancer. I am terrified of losing him, terrified of how he is going to feel through the chemo, terrified of how my mum will cope.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." - 2 Corinthians 4: 16 -18
