Keep Hope Alive

I just read in The Arizona Republic about a man who ended up in a coma after an auto accident. His wife asked a judge to order the removal of his feeding tube so he can "die with dignity" (whatever that means). Luckily, his brothers and sisters objected and fought against this decision. So a higher court overturned the decision before he starved to death. The feeding tube was reinserted. Soon afterwards, he awoke from his coma. This reminds me of Terri Schiavo, and people I know personally, who "died" after their life support was deliberately removed. I was just wondering, how many of them could have recovered like this man, if people didn't give up hope. Keep hope alive, and maybe you'll keep your loved ones alive too as a result.

Good Can Come Out of Something Bad

I have a co-worker whose husband got fired from a job he held for a long time. They have 2 children, one who's about to enter college. Naturally, he was concerned about how to make ends meet. They also wondered why God allowed this to happen. It wasn't long before he found another job, doing the exact same thing he did in his previous job. The only difference is that now he's getting paid a lot more. This new job took care of his financial concerns. So something good came out of something bad. I guess we just have to trust that God allows things to happen for a reason.
