Since it has never occurred to me that there was nothing good which can come from suffering I am somewhat at a loss as to how to answer you. Suffering has made me a better person, a more empathetic person, and for that I am grateful, but my faith in God is stronger as well because He gives me the strength to get through and the knowledge to know I can trust Him. I try to understand the atheistic point of view but without God there truly is no point; when life ends there's nothing and I can't see a point in nothing after all this struggle. But we are all created by God, and thereby loved by Him. Who am I therefore, to not love you all as well. You are lovable and that works for me.

Hi Nigel! I do not know the answers. All I know that I have "faith". My faith is mine alone, I don't share it. I believe that a God would not place us on this earth without purpose. What that purpose is I don't waste time thinking about it now, I believe it will be revealed to me on time. Be patient. There is plenty of room in this world for all of us. I like being the best that I can, & that means I face my challenges with an open mind. Nigel, I like you, & whatever or however you choose to live your life is okay. Take care of yourself & enjoy your Holidays! Hugs, AnneKristine 🩷

Nigle Merry Christmas remember we all love you
