Dear Confused —
God can do anything except override
our freedom. Adam's free will let
evil and death into the world. The
free will of others continues to
cause more evil. Our ignorance also
causes evil, as was the case with
the Romans, who lined their aqueducts
and water pipes with lead so that
dementia became common. The widespread
use of hormones in agriculture and
in human life causes cancer, as do
many other things.
God did not promise us that this
life would be paradise, only that
it's the preparation for the next
life. He also showed us that suffering,
carried with Him, can help to save
ourselves and others.
Your question
is a good one, and one asked by wise
men through the ages. What we know
is that God is good, evil exists,
and the good suffer. Christ has shown
us how to live in this world, and
that following Him and His way will
bring us to eternal life, where there is
no pain or suffering. God bless both
your grandmas. You must love them
a lot.
- Ask your deceased grandma to
pray for you
- Pray for your grandmother
with Alzheimer's, and
- Know that your presence with
her is felt and is a comfort.
