Personally, all these loss remind me the pointlessness of
of spending too much time striving to own material things
when everything can be lost in an instant.

My heart goes out to people who lost everything they have
saved in their lifetime. Most of them have to start all over.
Many don’t know how to begin rebuilding their lives without
their loved ones.

It’s true! Only in God are we truly safe, everything
else is false security; whether it be money, a nice house,
a dependable spouse or a good job.

God listens to prayer. He is merciful; compassionate. (Psalm 31:22.)
He does not willingly cause suffering but sometimes
it’s the only way to get our attention as we become
too preoccupied with the cares in this world
