The whys

Kevin read this to me over the phone the other day and I asked for a copy. It's from the pastor he talked to about contacting us after he received several articles about your accident. It's an excerpt from an email.

During my morning prayers I came upon this message. You immediately came to mind. As you struggle through the "whys" take a moment, read and meditate...

We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We over look the greater gifts inherent in our wounds, the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise. These are gifts from God.

God still has a greater purpose for you in this life. Kevin, you truly have been blessed.
