Question Hello I'd like to ask you this question. Both of my parents in law died just before their grandchildren where born. They both would have loved it so much to see them grown up, but didn't get the chance. First it was my Mother in law... she died almost 17 years ago in a terrible car accident at the first day of their holiday... nine months later our daughter was born. We have given to her in her name the initials J.C. Two years later also my Father in Law died from a heart attack,in our car when we where on our way to a wedding. I was at that moment pregnant of our son who was born two months later. Did God had plans for this with us? Thank you if you can give me an answer to it.

Response First of all, my sincere condolences for your loss and I hope that my answer is of some comfort to you. When I need comfort, I turn to the scriptures. In Ephesians 1: 9, the mysteries of the ways of the Lord are discussed: "Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself"

The Lord works in "mysterious" ways, and we can only know his ways if they are reveled to us by him.

In the Book of Mormon, Jacob 4:8, it says, "Behold, great and marvelous are the works of the Lord. How unsearchable are the depths of the mysteries of him; and it is impossible that man should find out all his ways. And no man knoweth of his ways save it be revealed unto him."

I really don't know why your parents-in-law were taken just prior to the birth of your two children, but the Lord does. He has a plan for all of his children. I would encourage you to seek the answer in humble prayer. There are many things in this life that we are not meant to understand. Other things, we may come to understand through the still small voice of the Holy Sprit.

Pray, study the scriptures, and seek knowledge and comfort from the Lord through his Spirit. If you do this with a humble and sincere heart, I promise you, that you will feel that comforting feeling of His spirit and that He is in control of all things and He does indeed have a plan for each one of us.

Sincerely,

Donny Osmond
