thanks...yet again--further understanding

So I've been reading a book called "In a pit with a lion on a snowy day" by Mark Batterson, and God's granted me some insight through it that I thought I'd share: I used to pooh-pooh people who would go through some tragedy and then take up prevention of that tragedy as a cause for them, just because I thought it was so typical. Somebody gets Parkinson's and they start crusading against Parkinson's, somebody stops smoking and then they start a stop-smoking group. Nothing against that, I just was cynical for some reason. Turns out, though, that part of the good that God can bring out of a bad situation is our understanding of that situation and His ability to then use us to help others who are in a similar situation. How can I decry that, and why should, or would, I? I mean, it's biblical, right in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.

Call it another piece of the puzzle, and I'm so glad it's now in place.


Thanks again, God.
