Fixing Her Cowboy's Broken Heart Quotes

“Roger realized that he was looking for a way to be human again.   The bible fell open to the book of Ecclesiastes, and he drank in the words he found on the page.   “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.”   That passage was the closest he’d had to comfort yet. Strange — it didn’t mention anything about comfort and healing. The only thing it mentioned was that man wasn’t supposed to have the answers.   Roger supposed that on some level he realized that he would never know God’s plan, the reasoning behind the Lord taking his family from him.   But this was the bible telling him that it was all right, that it was perfectly natural that he didn’t understand why these tragic things had taken place.”

“He didn’t deserve the comfort that God promised.   And yet Roger still sought it, still turned the pages in the bible looking for something.   He found that ugly word “comfort” yet again in the book of Corinthians.   “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.”   Was that the answer, then? Because Christ suffered and died for Roger’s sins, Roger had to suffer for Christ? Mary, Millie, and Kate had to suffer and die?”
