I was looking on the internet for some information on my son's illness. One thing led to another and I ended up looking at pictures of kids with the genetic disorder that two of my boys were born with. Anyhow, a lot of children die because of this, not to mention so many other problems and abuse. This brings me to my question:
Why does God (I am a believer) allow this sort of thing to happen? Children are innocent, why would He allow them to go through so much? Why are the innocent hurt? I don't believe He lets it happen but maybe He just doesn't interfere. Which brings me to the second part of my question. How does He decide when to step in or does He? I believe in miracles so I'm sure He does intervene, but why and when?
I am believer as well and it is sad when things like this happen especially to children. I think of the song that goes, " this is what it means, to be held, how it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life, and you survive..."
All I know is He has a plan and it is not often revealed to us on earth. We are meant to lean on Him and only Him. I know when I struggle I lean on Him most...I think this is one of the reasons things happen. He wants to know who we put our trust in.
Like Job, Paul, and others, do we praise Him in ALL that we do, even if we are in prison or our family is no longer with us on earth?
It has been reaffirmed to me (once again) that in order to have the good you must have the bad. I can understand this and I hope to see the plan in it's entirety one day. I like to tell myself that this won't look so bad once we are through it.
A friend once told me that easy is easy and hard is worth it! I like it.

I like that sentiment too!
Also some (not all, mind you!) but some of my worst bad has turned out to be for real good reasons I saw later or it was the necessary step to get somewhere I wanted to go to and I only saw that in hindsight. So I like to apply a lot of "we'll see" to bad stuff too.
Yes, this is true too. I think the main key is patience. We have to have faith that all things will work out in the end, we just have to be patient and edure until the end.
I think God put us on these or any kind of situations just to test us how much faith do we have on him, so those who have more faith and patience and accept every thing as God given may be are in God favorites list.
I personally think that life is like a exam, those who study hard will get through it easily and those who don't will spend their lives with one an other problem on their way long.
I think we as human beings seeks God's help when we are in trouble and when our problem is solved we move on and some of us may forget Him, unless hit by an other problem.
God does not send "good" things and "bad" things as punishment or rewards. It is unfortunate that your child must experience this illness but at a higher source, it is something in a very consciously way that being has decided. It is also about what you as his mother/father is to learn from this experience and how this will make you stronger and grow your spirit in ways never before.
Nobody said it is going to be easy or it is "fair" for either of you, but it is the way it is, and it is up to you what label you are going to put on the situation. I see this as a great opportunity for your soul to expand, to increase your patience and love, and to show your commitment to love. After all, all you can do about the situation is be love to your child and love the situation you are in. No judgments, no whys?
Nothing is good or bad and things happen for a reason. This may seem "cold" or whatever, but really think about a bigger picture. If all life is is experience, this is a great experience for your soul.

Does anyone have any thoughts on these questions?
Thank you for anything you are willing to share.
Sometimes a person is placed in our lives so that we may learn who is in control. When I look around and see people that may not have as much as I do or someone who may be ill. I thank God that it is not me. You just never know who God is working through...sometimes it is a test to see have you forgotten. Be blessed and keep the faith. Don't question God. ALWAYS remember God would never put more on us than we can bare. I am sure you have strong children. Take care. Prayer is the Key, Faith unlock the door. God Bless You and Your Family.
I found myself asking the same thing after I lost a child due to a misscarriage thet my wife had when she was 5 months along. I blamed God, asked why oh why would you do this to us? I have never gotten an answer, only in time some comfort when I was down and thinking about what might have been. i did find a book one time it's called " Where is god when it hurts?". I don't know if it will help you as it did me. I will pray for the comfort you need.
I believe that everything happens for a reason. When children are sick I believe it is because that sickness will make them have certain experiences and will teach them what it is they need to learn in this life. I beieve in reincarnation and how we are supposed to learn a specific something in each life and what we go through helps us to learn that special something. It's just that whatever your children have to learn in this life, their illness is the best way to teach them that.
