Why?

Why do things have to happen? Why does my grandson fall off the monkeybars and break a wrist? Why does my family love me? Why does God love me? Why is the world so beautiful? Why was I born now, into the gospel? Why was I born of such goodly parents? Why are there set-backs in life? Why do we have challenges? Why, when things are apparently going well, are there roadbumps? Why is there such goodness in the world? Why do we not listen and obey when we know it is best for us? Why, when I look into my wife's eyes, do I feel such a depth of love and patience? Why do I like ice cream so much? Why does it take forever for weight to come off? Why does it seem that I can smell food, any food, not just the good food, and put on weight? Why am I so blessed? Why did my dad die when I was a baby? Why did my sister die so young? Why can't I bo more, be better and get things done? Why do I like going to Disneyland, the happiest place on earth, so much? Why do I like SeaWorld so much? Why do I love to scuba dive? Why don't we have gills and can breathe underwater? Why is my yard getting steeper each year when I mow it? Why do you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway? Why do kids have to grow up? Why don't they like the "cool" clothes we try and get for them now when they loved the clothes we got them when they were younger? Why do I like walking so much in the morning now? Why can I feel like I really talk to God sometimes when I pray and other times I can't get things past the ceiling? Why does God love me so much? Why?, because the answer to all these questions is because it is the wonderful plan for which we fought and worked and wanted, that's why!
