My Husband and I tried to talk to them. They don’t understand how God could possibly test a young baby. I told them that if she (Daughter in Law) would have been anywhere else in that home at the time, they would never have been able to get to my Grandson in time. (He wasn’t breathing when they found him)An emergency room nurse had been visiting someone in the neighborhood when the tornado hit. He performed emergency resuscitation on the baby when he was found. Isn’t that a sign that God was working a miracle?
Thbelieveded that God sometimes tests us to teach us. They are angry. We understand what a shocking scene it was and how horrible it was to see their baby in a coma for a week, on a respirator.
You should tell her that Satan is the one that tried to take the baby by using the storm.
God is the one that protected him from dying by having the right people there at the right time.
Your son and daughter-in-law should remember that the Lord loves their son even more than they do and we need to accept whatever the Lord sends into our lives for our betterment, whether it appears ‘good’ or ‘evil’ to us. I’m not trying to diminish their pain with my comments. I’ve lost a child, but not through the terror of a tornado. I’ve lost close friends, most recently a Navy SEAL who left behind a wife and two tiny sons, but I know that the Lord held my child in His hands and that my young SEAL friend was exactly where the Lord wanted him. The ER nurse visiting near your children’s home was a miracle and God should be praised for such. I’m praying for your family’s healing, both physical and spiritual.
Because there is evil in the world = therefore God is testing an innocent child is not the logical premise here.
In Paradise original justice existed. This means that the laws of nature did not result in evil (For example a tornado could do no damage, etc.) After the fall and evil was introduced into the garden, the laws of nature were corrupted and natural law could now accidently result in evil, i.e., the death of a child, etc. In heaven, original justice will be restored again and the laws of nature will be restored to their perfect state.
I have read and thought about these things because I lost my first daughter at the age of 7 months. Even though it was many years ago, I understand the first reaction to blame God, it is important to work through this and realize that evil was introduced into this world by the devil.
Prayers for understanding to all concerned.
