Life is Incredibly Unfair - In Our Favor

"Not that everything happens for a reason, but that God can make reason out of everything that happens" -- that is a message I definitely needed to hear today.

As an Australian Veteran who is LDS, I really needed to hear this today. I randomly came across this video today.

“Life is incredibly unfair, in our favor” is absolutely beautiful! I am overwhelmed with gratitude and thankful for the Taylor’s examples of Christlike attributes.

"Eventhough we want everything to happen for a reason, it's probably a better mindset to let God help make reason of everything that happens." - thank you for that🙂

This is the strongest, most resilient, well adjusted woman on the internet…

As one that used to wear the same uniform and rank I can tell you I often think of your husband ever since I first read about this story in the news. I lost many friends while I was in the service, some to battle and some to the battle within after coming home. I know your family remembers him daily, but even those of us that never knew him will ever forget his service and sacrifice.

I just lost my wife of 33 years about 6 weeks ago. I was so touched by your video and cried all the way through it. There is nothing that can prepare you for the emotional devastation of losing your companion. Only faith in the savior and knowing that I'll be with her again keeps me going. Your struggles and how you have overcome them are an inspiration to me to keep moving forward. I am grateful for your example of strength and your testimony. Thank you for your courage to share this with us all. I hope it is helping so many others with their struggles as it has helped me.

Not gunna lie, I cried during this video. But, I find myself afterwards being unable to be sad. Today I met a Queen.

I’m a member and an army infantry paratrooper. I feel you and I love you and I’m truly sorry for your loss. Thank you for your service ma’am. Most soldiers can only hope for a wife like you. Stay strong sister

That is one of the most heartbreaking and beautiful testimonies I have ever heard. I wish I had just a fraction of your strength and faith. I am in a very low point in my life's journey right now and your story was very enlightening and encouraging. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. God bless you and your family.

Today is the anniversary of my dad's death. He was only 61. He will never see me married, have kids, or a million other things. I miss him every day. But so much of what was said in this video really resonated with me. Grief is such a life changing experience...Like she said, I'll never say I am happy my dad died. But I can see the growth and blessings I have received since.

I had a cousin join the army after he left school. He went through his training and came back at Christmas. He was tragically killed in a car accident when the driver hit a tree head on and he was forced from the back seat through the windscreen. It was an irony. He was just 17. I am most grateful for the plan of salvation that makes everything right in the end. We will understand all things one day and weeping will turn to rejoicing.

Nothing like a good cry 😭 I can’t tell you what an incredible and inspiring person you are, Jennie. Everything I’ve seen you do, you do with energy, conviction, compassion, and faith. I feel so privileged to get to learn from your example. ❤

This reminds me of a thought that has been coming to me of late. Sometimes the tender mercies of God are tender as they are a gentle mercy; other times they are tender, more like a fresh wound. Both are necessary to experience a fullness of joy and a perfection of faith.

So sorry for your loss. But what a beautiful spirit and strong lady you are for your children. You're a hero as well as your husband. Having sent my son-in-law off for two tours in Iraq I know what a sacrifice that is for families . Thanking your husband for his service and sacrifice 🙏. My mom lost her brother in WW2. All my best to you and your children in your future. You are inspiring. 🥰

After my good husband of 39 years passed away suddenly, one of my sons gave me an analogy. He said he felt that my husband’s death was at first like looking at a handful of dirt or sand and all one could see was the dirt or sand, but in sifting through that, one could see gold nuggets. He said he felt that my husband and I were going to grow in ways we wouldn’t have if he’d lived, and that once we were together again, it would be even better than if he’d lived out his life and we’d continued on together. Although I miss him every day and still cry after his being gone 11 years, I have been SO blessed. The Lord has taken such good care of me and my children, and opened doors for me. I am so grateful for my Savior and His sacrifice, so that we can be together again. Then our joy will be so full and so wonderful!

I am amazed at this Sister’s fortitude!! God bless her for her hope and faith in the Saviour! Those 7 children growing up without their father! I have nothing but admiration for her! 🙏💐

"God make reason out of everything that happens". Thank you for this illuminating thought. I always disliked the cliche, that "Everything happens for a reason" which I think puts too much blame on God, or a predestined fate, that negates our free will.

"This will be good for you" mmmh those pure messages from God always hit the hardest. Pure truth.

I'm a Veteran as my husband. He's a Disabled Vietnam vet. I cried the day when i heard your husband passed. But your message has helped me so much fir we lost a son and i have struggled since. Your message hit my heart. Thank you... Gods Blessing to you & your family...
