My Dear Alicia:
God Bless You in this time of your loss, and may God Rest Steven in hs new home, gone home to God.
You must realize that God, in his wisdom and in his time, called Steven back to his side. And that wisdom and time is His alone, and not often is that always understandable to us in this time and place. But you must also remember that His wisdom also extends to those of us still here in this world, and we are remaining here for now because that wisdom would have it that way. So remember that this is not as one-sided as it seems: As He knew to take him, he also knows to leave us here for now for His reasons, and as He is always around and with us, we must take our strength and live by faith in that knowledge.
I know it must be the most dreadful shock, and I will pray for you and your family.
Lord Help Us All,
J o e y
