During the month of February there have been several unexpected deaths among our friends. Some of their family, in their grief questioned why God with all of his power could not prevent these deaths. So I asked the Angel this question.

"We get this question all the time", he responded. "Your Heavenly Father has more love and compassion than you will ever know. He created you, He placed the love and compassion in you. You would not feel the way you do without his love for you. The animals in your world do not have the depth of compassion that you do. The love you see your pets demonstrate do not extend as far as your compassion does. It does not extend to strangers beyond their borders, like yours does.

"The loved ones who have passed are possibly in a better place. They may have been rescued from greater mental and physical pain. Because of his love for you he created that person. During their journey in your world you grew to love them.You are shocked and hurt by their passing. We would expect you to feel that way.

"As I have said before you are a phyical being living in a dangerous world. You are designed to work towards a way to protect yourselves. As one of your TV shows stated at the start of each episode, "be careful out there".

With that last remark he vanished!
