The Years the Locusts Have Eaten

Another thing Mark Buchanan says is:

The right thing is faith--to have faith in the one who doesn't always remedy life's unfairness, but who does far better. He redeems it--its unfairness, its brokenness, its disease and death, and He gives us back sevenfold all the years the locusts have eaten.

I can vouch for that!! Today I got to spend the entire day with the grandchildren God has given me, not flesh-of-my-flesh-and-bone-of-my-bone grandchildren, but grandchildren nonetheless!!

I lost a granddaughter, but God gave me TWO in exchange! Emily is the age Madeline was when she died, and Samantha is the age Madeline would be if she had lived!

Doesn't God come up with great ideas???
